Asos is one of my favourite online shops they just seem to do everything you need all under one internet roof. Last month I got a email from the team over at AccessAllASOS telling me about the CoppaFeel project and how they are hijacking bra's sold on Asos to raise awareness for breast cancer.
CoppaFeel was started us by a young lady called Kris who at the age of 23 is dealing with stage 4 of breast cancer. She had a lump on her breast and like anyone who has developed a lump she went straight to the doctors to have it checked out. They told her its was nothing to worry about, so eight months on with the lump still there even having gone back to the doctors a second time and telling her it was nothing to worry about, Kris has stage 4 breast cancer that had spread to her spine.
Imagine that at the young age of 23 and having cancer?! What would you do? I know I would be in a whole world of shock but Kris turned all the negative thoughts and feelings in to starting up CoppaFeel to get young girls to regularly check for cancer and to remind us all the breast cancer can strike at any age. It's scary to think that 1 in 8 of us girls will be affect..
This cause is something that I strongly believe in as a story like this is so heartbreaking to hear and being a girl I will do anything to help someone like Kris who I honestly admire so much. I encourage you all to get to know your boobies and check them for any lumps and bumps. ASOS are running a #BraHijack campaign, they are hijacking bras with a label in the bra to spread awareness which I think its so cute.
Below is a link to the CoppaFeel website. You can read Kris's story and even read about how to check your boobs. Go on girls I really suggest getting yourself check to make sure your A OK..
