October is about remembering those we lost due to cancer and raising awareness not using the month to make a profit. Speaking to ZimGospel Masters, Sandra Chidawanyika Goliath, breast cancer survivor said it is very crucial to use this month to support our fellow friends and families with cancer than using the month for entertainment.
“Let us not go around Pinking this October, using the month for entertainment without raising awareness and support those with breast cancer”
“It’s really sad when you are trying to help somebody but knowing you can’t do it alone hence let’s join hands and raise awareness,” she said
She also urged people to go and get checked because cancer is real.
“Go and get checked. Cancer is real, we have seen it and support groups are there to walk with you. Remember it can be controlled when caught early”
Meanwhile she urged people to support, attend the events, donate to those pushing the drive and wear pink to show support.
October is Breast cancer awareness month and according to world health organization (WHO) breast cancer is the most common cancer globally with around 2.3 million new cases every year. Roughly half of all breast cancers occur in women with no specific risk factors other than sex and age.
