Thanks and congratulations to all of you. WonderBra’s Women of Promise campaign ended in fine style on Friday, November 11, 2011. So many of you were generous enough to respond to the call and make the promise in order to contribute to the fight against breast cancer, a cause that touches all of us, directly or indirectly.
The promise, which asked you to be breast aware, to take steps to reduce health risks and to pass the word along to all the women you’re close to, allowed us to increase awareness while raising funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year!
We’re very proud of the solidarity and enthusiasm that was in evidence to help the cause, and all of this thanks to you. To underline its commitment to and support of the fight against breast cancer, WonderBra will donate the sum of $25,000 to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF).
Together, for a future without breast cancer.

Each year, thousands of Canadians of all ages and from all walks of life unite to participate in the Run. Their reasons for participating vary, but they all have the same goal; to create a future without breast cancer.
On Sunday, October 3, 2010, Run, Walk and Give Generously.

Breast cancer awareness starts with a healthy lifestyle and early screening habits. Here is a Top ten list about breast health provided by the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation.
1. MAMMOGRAM
Have a mammogram every two years after the age of 50.
2. CLINICAL EXAMS
Go to your doctor once a year for a clinical examination.
3. BREAST OBSERVATION
Listen to your body and be aware of any changes.
4. TOBACCO
Stop using tobacco and avoid second-hand smoke.
5. NUTRITION
Eat healthy. A diet that is low in fat, rich in fiber and well-balanced with fruits and vegetables reduces the risk of breast cancer.
6. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Run, walk, move. A minimum of four hours of exercise a week reduces the risk of breast cancer.
7. ALCOHOL
Moderate your alcohol intake.
8. HEREDITY
Be vigilant. Consult your doctor if there is a history of breast cancer in your family.
9. WEIGHT
Watch your weight. People who are overweight have a higher risk of developing breast cancer.
10. BALANCED LIFE
Lead a balanced life and avoid stress. Physical and emotional well-being leads to good health.
