Marks & Spencer celebrates Breast Cancer Awareness Month

MANILA, Philippines – Worldwide, Breast Cancer is the leading cause of death for women ages 35 to 54. In Asia, the Philippines has the highest incidence rate. One out of every nine Filipinos will develop the disease in their lifetime.

I Can Serve in partnership with Marks and Spencer is helping create a greater awareness of this life-threatening disease. Through I Can Serve’s early breast cancer detection campaign and programs, the foundation is helping women become better informed and proactive about Breast Cancer through a four-part process: education, breast self-examination, clinical breast examination and mammography.

To help spread the word about breast cancer, Marks and Spencer, a staunch supporter of the cause, having conducted breast cancer awareness initiatives worldwide, continues to help arm women with the knowledge they need to battle this disease.

In celebration of October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Marks and Spencer arms its customers with a free tote for every minimum single receipt purchase of P2,500 on bras. The tote bares the pink ribbon, the global icon for breast cancer. Carry this bag and make a fashion statement against Breast Cancer. Promo is ongoing until Oct. 31.

I Can Serve, a non-stock, non-profit foundation based in Manila, Philippines, was founded in 1999 to empower women with Breast Cancer and provide cancer-related information, allowing women to have a voice in their own health care.
