Cancer is perhaps one of the main fears of modern people. Women are at risk of developing breast cancer – and this is a real threat from which absolutely no one is immune, regardless of age. However, early diagnosis significantly increases the chances of successful treatment.
How to recognize the disease and reduce the risks? Where to go and what to do if there is even the slightest suspicion? Avon invites everyone to attend the Pink Light educational parties in order to get comprehensive answers to any of these questions in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere.
The bachelorette parties will be organized by Avon representatives. They will receive stylish pink boxes with self-examination instructions, facts and recommendations on the disease in a convenient format, as well as branded invitations, stickers and even coffee coasters! All this will allow you to have a comfortable picnic in the fresh air and learn comprehensive information about the disease in a cozy atmosphere.
The initiative to create such events is being implemented within the framework of the international platform Avon # stand4her, which is aimed at comprehensive support of women, and the Mission Against Breast Cancer, with the expert assistance of the Cancer Prevention Foundation.
“Avon’s Mission Against Breast Cancer aims to inform, and in times of fear, information is not received well. Therefore, we decided to go from the opposite direction and organize such informational holidays for Russian women. We want to create a comfortable, informal atmosphere in which it will be possible to talk about breast cancer without slogans, without pressure, easily and freely – heart to heart, ”explained Ilya Politkovsky, Director of Corporate and Internal Communications at Avon.
In order to start self-examination now, you can take a test to determine the risks of developing oncology, developed with the support of Avon by experts of the Cancer Prevention Foundation, based on scientific research and recommendations from the best oncologists in the world.
The large-scale project Avon was supported by the theater and film actress Kristina Kuzmina. She shared her story of fighting breast cancer. “I have defeated this disease twice. To say that it was a difficult period in my life is to say nothing. And although now I look to the future with optimism and confidence, at the same time I understand that the situation could have been different, if I knew about the risk of developing oncology earlier, ”Kuzmina shared.
“Many women think that this problem will not affect them, others are simply afraid to look fear in the eyes, and this is how we let ourselves down. It is really necessary to know about breast cancer, because observation by a doctor can save lives. Take the first step – think about the problem and start talking about it out loud with your friends so that it is not scary. This is precisely why Avon’s Pink Light project was created, ”explained the actress.
