This week marks 12 years since our founder Kristin was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer at the age of 23 and came up with the idea for CoppaFeel!
We are teaming up with the OMBLES to get creative and spread awareness across the country. Breast cancer doesn't discriminate and early detection is lifesaving - so we want every young person to feel confident checking their chests. We hope as many people as possible get involved in this one!!
Our mission is to drive awareness of breast cancer in 18-24 year olds and shift their perceptions of relevance, helping them to understand that breast cancer isn't just something that affects older women (or indeed, just women).
Therefore our key message for today’s OMB is…
Breast cancer affects young people - CoppaFeel! want you to remind them and encourage them to check their chest regularly.
Please tweet your submissions to @OneMinuteBriefs and @CoppaFeelPeople with the hashtag… #CoppaFeelNow Please include the link: coppafeel.org/your-boobs/boob-check-101 in your tweets.
Prize: Winner receives some CoppaFeel! Goodies!!!
Have fun with your entries but make sure they are respectful at all times!!
A little blurb on CoppaFeel!
CoppaFeel! exists to give all young people the best chance of surviving breast cancer, by ensuring that every case is diagnosed early and correctly. To do this they aim to drive greater breast awareness in young people, not only giving 18-24 year olds the tools to check, but the confidence to seek help if they notice a change, and the reassurance that they are the best advocates for themselves and their health. We want every young person to understand that breast cancer is relevant to them, regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity or background.
Our social handles are @coppafeelpeople on Twitter and Instagram.
