Move For Jenn Foundation’s Post

13% of all cancers diagnosed in adults older than 20 years of age are rare and in 2017 that was over 200,000 (!!!) cancer cases. Rare cancers can be more difficult to catch early affecting survival rates and patient prognosis and importantly, treatments for rare cancers are limited. It's also relevant to note that many rare cancers especially of the respiratory and digestive system disproportionately affect people of color. In the case of gallbladder cancer: only 10% of the cancers are diagnosed at a local stage, and overall 5-year survival is just 19%. One of my favorite humans (especially in the life science space) Megan Nacar is participating in Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center's Cycle for Survival to raise money for rare cancers. If you know me well, you probably know that I'm an avid weightlifter and in a past life I was a personal trainer (although I still tend to end up moonlighting as a PT for close friends and family 😂 ). This is all to say - being sedentary is a known risk factor for cancer per the NCI and there is a significant body of research around exercise's beneficial effect on survival particularly in those with colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer with up to a 45% (!!) decrease in risk of death. So, in my eyes this is the perfect initiative to donate to. - Building community ✅ - Money for rare cancers ✅ - Promoting exercise ✅ What isn't there to love about this initiative? I'm just very jealous I'm a 6.5 hour plane ride away from it. There is a $500 boost towards research that Megan and her team earn if she hits her donation goal, so if you can, please consider donating!

🩷 Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Join the Fight! 🩷 Breast cancer impacts so many lives — it’s the most common cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer death among women in the U.S. 1 in 8 women will receive a breast cancer diagnosis in her lifetime, and every year, an estimated 44,000 lives are lost to this disease. Yet, there is hope: with early detection, the 5-year survival rate rises to nearly 99%. At Cochrane Supply, we’re standing together in the fight against breast cancer this October. To show our support, we’re offering free “Fight Cancer” pink t-shirts at our counters all month long and donating 1% of our Friday Counter Sales to help support this cause. Get your tshit to raise awareness and encourage others to take action. Remember, knowledge and early screenings are our best tools in reducing these numbers. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #Pinktober

March is prostate cancer awareness month. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, but awareness and early detection can make a significant difference. Regular check-ups and being informed about the signs and symptoms are key steps in early detection. Education about prostate health is not just for those at risk, but for everyone to support the men in their lives.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and as a Triple Negative Breast Cancer survivor, I have a couple of tips and one important request. I share my cancer journey to support those who might face a similar diagnosis and to emphasize the importance of early detection. #1: Surviving breast cancer is possible, especially with early diagnosis. Mammograms and self-exams are crucial tools—don't overlook them! I used to delay my mammograms, thinking I was too busy. But in reality, even a couple of months could have drastically altered my prognosis. Prioritize your health, and encourage your loved ones to do the same. #2: Donate to cancer prevention, treatment, or research organizations. The size of the donation doesn’t matter—it’s the act that counts. Take care of yourself, and let’s continue to support one another. Be well! - TB For more information about breast cancer, visit https://lnkd.in/gafQ8c5m

Breast Cancer Awareness Month🩷 Did you know that 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime? In 2024, an estimated 310,720 women and 2,800 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Chances are, you know at least one person who has been personally affected by breast cancer. But there is hope. When caught in its earliest, localized stages, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%. Advances in early detection and treatment methods have significantly increased breast cancer survival rates in recent years, and there are currently over 4 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. Get checked now! And don’t forget your monthly breast self-exams.

#breastcancerawarenessmonth started yesterday. The World Health Organization Global Breast Cancer Initiative says that no one should face breast cancer alone, it aims to reduce global breast cancer mortality by promoting early detection, improving health system capacities, and ensuring access to quality care. Awareness is the first step in the fight against breast cancer. Early detection undoubtably saves lives so when you get the opportunity use your social profiles to raise awareness of symptoms and support charitable campaigns.
