yeah, we said it! feel your boobies (or your girlfriend’s). now. it just might save a life. seriously.

it’s Breast Cancer Awareness month, and we encourage you to stay informed. one in eight women is diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. in fact, it’s the SECOND leading cause of death amongst women. (it’s pretty rare in men, but about 2,000 do get diagnosed annually).

one of the best ways to survive it is to catch it early.  you can even download an app from the National Breast Cancer Foundation to create your own Early Detection Plan. With the app, you can receive reminders to do breast self-exams, and schedule your clinical breast exams and mammograms based on your age and health history.

so, yeah. open up your shirts and start feeling your boobies.
