According to statistics, every day one in 27 South African women is at risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer. This particularly affects those between the ages of 15 and 60 as most women – especially those from disadvantaged rural areas – can’t afford mammograms.
This is why the North-University University’s (NWU’s) SisterHood Foundation, in partnership with Virgin Active and the Kealeboga Modimo Foundation, will celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Day by educating women about breast cancer risks, symptoms and prevention.
