This Mother’s Day, the McGrath Foundation is calling on mums and daughters to talk all things breast awareness and the importance of knowing what’s normal for your pair.
Taking part in conversations that matter, or having a moment with mum to chat about breast cancer is important for all Australian women.
In 2017, 49 people in Australia will be diagnosed with breast cancer every day, with 17,856 women and 144 men expected to be diagnosed according to Government projections.
Breast awareness goes a long way when it comes to early diagnosis and treatment so actively taking care of your pair should be a monthly routine.
Nothing’s more important than a Moment with Mum – have you had an open conversation about breast health awareness with your mum or daughter recently?
McGrath Foundation Ambassadors Maggie T, Catherine Britt, and Sam Burns talk about their experiences with breast cancer and the importance of having a moment with their mum;
Maggie encouraged her daughter Brooke to be regularly checked for breast cancer and had open conversations with her on the importance of breast health. These conversations ultimately saved her life.
Catherine Britt’s breast cancer diagnosis saved the lives of both her mother and mother-in-law. They both went for breast checks at the urging of Catherine.
Sam Burns lost her mum to cancer when she was only six years old. Her loss fuels her passion for caring for others as a McGrath Foundation Breast Care Nurse.
To encourage conversations that matter the McGrath Foundation is calling on Australian women to share their #mcgrathmomentwithmum this Mother’s Day. We’d love to see them too so include the hashtag #InterfloraAustralia or tag us in your photos!
