2. Why I Wear Pink
My reason for participating in the Real Men Wear Pink event is personal. Last year, my
mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a scary experience and it brought new
insight into my role in the healthcare field...how I can utilize my skills in the healthcare
tech arena to help return patients to the center of the the care spectrum.
We all have been affected by breast cancer, unfortunately. This is my opportunity to
honor breast cancer survivors, remember people we have lost, and help raise awareness.
The least I can do is wear pink each day this month and help spread awareness.
About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12%) will develop invasive
breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
In 2014, there were more than 2.8 million women with a
history of breast cancer in the U.S.
A woman’s risk of breast cancer approximately doubles if
she has a first-degree relative (mother, sister, daughter)
who has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
