Attention Women: Change the Statistic!

Filed in archive Cancer , News , Women's Health on October 9, 2007

Have you made a promise yet to have early screened for breast cancer? Or have you tagged a friend already to undergo early screening for breast cancer?

That's exactly what Change the Statistic wants you to do.




Change the Statistic is a rich online resource designed to create a nationwide network of women who make a "virtual pledge" to get their annual mammogram, and inviting them to tell their own personal story behind why an annual mammogram is so important to them.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and in lieu of this "celebration" the American Cancer Society and Siemens Medical Solutions have partnered on a national multi-media and social networking campaign to encourage women to get their yearly mammograms.

The said campaign, called Change the Statistic - aims to get women across the country to promise to get their annual mammogram by tapping into the popularity of online social networking, encouraging them to virally spread the message along to their loved ones.
