A breast cancer NGO that co-ordinates clinical breast cancer screenings for women with limited access to healthcare, is appealing to women to support those in need by donating their gently used bras during October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
The bra collection initiative was launched by ILoveBoobies last year.
According to Phillippa Brinkman of ILoveBoobies, the response was overwhelming.
“We estimate we received in excess of 2 000 bras and are delighted to say that we have been able since then to donate a bra to every woman screened by ILoveBoobies, in the Western Cape.”
As an official mammography partner of ILoveBoobies, SCP Radiology has installed bra collection boxes at nine of their branches and will be collecting bras until the end of October.
