Breast cancer IS serious!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Fit4Lyfe is spreading the word and going PINK this October!
Breast Cancer will effect 1 in 8 women in the US and is one of the most common cancers among American women. In 2016, there will be approximately 247,000 cases of invasive breast cancer diagnoses among women and approximately 40,450 women will die of breast cancer. At this current time, there are more than 2.8 MILLION breast cancer survivors in the USA. {YAY survivors and lets RAISE awareness to help those affected.}
Staying HEALTHY can prevent MANY different types of Cancer and becoming more aware of what you can do for yourself will always be at the top of the list for preventative illnesses. These healthy choices include: not smoking, staying at a healthy weight, eating right, keeping active, and getting recommended screening tests. YOU have one body and its time to make it a priority in YOUR life--- this is NOT a selfish act but a way to SAVE.YOUR.LIFE! What would YOUR family do without you? It is NOT OK to ignore your health and to think that you are "safe". Take action TODAY!
Fit4Lyfe is teaming up with Susan G. Komen to RAISE AWARENESS among our community. We would like to help spread the word of breast cancer and the IMPORTANCE of taking care of your body. Fit4Lyfe believes in functional fitness and fueling your body properly to not only remain healthy but to prevent many different types of illnesses. Having a healthy body is something you will always thank yourself for committing to. Do NOT wait to get sick to take action. Are you ready to take action and make being healthy one of your goals?
Set a goal to be HEALTHY and lets get to work together. If you are a survivor, going through or know someone battling breast cancer, PLEASE contact us so that we can continue to support and help. Our goal is the help others in any way we can and taking ACTION is the first step.
