Komen Hawaii Race for the Cure®
October 18, 2009
Are you at risk for breast cancer?
Do you know the simple steps that offer you the best protection? What should you do if you find a lump or notice other changes to your breasts? What can you do now to reduce your breast cancer risk?
Susan G. Komen for the Cure® developed I AM THE CURE.® to teach Komen Race for the Cure® participants how to take an active role in their breast health.
I AM THE CURE.® is a rallying cry that is emotional, memorable and motivational. It speaks to the importance of early detection, since early detection is the best defense, and provides simple, action-oriented messages that Race participants can take home and put into action. Our goal is reach every Race participant with the life saving message of early detection and share the importance of a positive breast health program.
I AM THE CURE.® teaches people simple steps we can all do to take charge of our breast health.
- SEE YOUR DOCTOR, LEARN YOUR RISK! I AM THE CURE.®
- GET MAMMOGRAMS AND BREAST EXAMS! I AM THE CURE.®
- NOTICE CHANGES TO YOUR BREASTS! I AM THE CURE.®
- START THE FIGHT BY LIVING RIGHT! I AM THE CURE.®
