Take a global stand against breast cancer
As many of you know – I am fighting breast cancer (again) – this time it is in my liver and bones (which really sucks – but then that is a whole different conversation – at least my treatment is working – yeah). As many of you also know I am on the Board of Directors for the World Conference on Breast Cancer. I am very passionate about this cause because unlike myself, many women experience this disease do not have the support or resources they need.
The World Conference on Breast Cancer brings survivors together with people concerned and working with breast cancer, including: scientists, medical professional, researchers, suppliers, Governments, and many more. The intention is to reach people who can make a difference in the global stand against breast cancer. Through the conference we can educate and equip women from many nations, especially those developing and in transition, with the tools they need to make a difference in their communities.
As part of our social media outreach we decided to create an awareness video on the World Conference on Breast Cancer to launch on YouTube. Well it is launched. The video brings three culturally diverse drummers and women (survivors) and their families together to celebrate the stand against breast cancer.
One million women are diagnosed with breast cancer world wide each year, 400,000 of these women will die. Today four million women are living with breast cancer on our planet. Help to raise awareness about this growing global health issue and share this link with everyone you know. Our hope is to go viral. If we are able to go viral, we may attract advertisers who could help to support the sponsorship of visiting delegates.
Please copy the link and share it with your friends, family and colleagues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF2d7toiadc
