Bash for Boobs

Happy New Year! I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the new year. What are your New Year’s resolutions?

Every year, I make three resolutions. My resolutions for 2015 are the following:

Living with Breast Cancer in Your 20s

As young adults we rarely think about cancer and other diseases because we are INDESTRUCTIBLE! Aren’t we? Refinery29 sat down with Felicity Palma, a young woman who will tell you first hand, you’re not.

Make 2015 the Year of Breast Health

Now that the holiday season has passed, you are probably looking at a nice long list of New Year’s resolutions. You may already have plans to get active and eat healthier but we are challenging you to make 2015 the year of breast health!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and there are tons of ways you can support the breast cancer cause. One of our favorite campaigns this year is Co-Op’s Drink Pink campaign.

Full of spirit, emotion and inspiration, there is truly no other event like it in Canada. Think you’re too out of shape for the 5K this year?
