“Breast cancer patients need to know that this does not limit
ambition. Knowing this inspires the zeal to impact the lives of females to
reach out and accomplish their dreams regardless of the health issues they
have. Also being ‘breast aware' plays a major role in early detection so I
was especially pleased to be a part of this initiative which will make ladies
more aware and become proactive with breast examination and talking to their
doctors." says Yetunde Babaeko.
“I am not going to run
5km or climb Kilimanjaro, but I need to do something. For me, choosing to take
photos for the cancer support groups, albeit it is very short-lived is a
personal challenge. It is so important to raise awareness of breast cancer and
the work of our national charities who help women and their families deal with
the physical and emotional scars that this disease creates.” notes one of the
photographers.
This maiden edition will feature real life photos of breast
cancer patients, survivors, their families and the strategies they employ in
coping with breast cancer.
