⏰ The 18th of the month is here to remind you that it’s time for your monthly breast exam (women AND men). The 18th represents the 1 in 8 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Take a minute right now, set a reminder on your phone for the 18th of every month and plan for your monthly exam. Link in our bio for how-to!

Laura’s message was simple. Do small things everyday that enhance and support your wellness, advocate for the care you want based on research and your needs, and give yourself a monthly breast exam. Early detection truly saves lives!
•••
We love that we can keep our promise to Laura by continuing to share her message every month alongside a photo of her throughout her life. Thank you for being here. Take good care of yourself.

Happy Laura Day 💕

Turning up the heat this summer, and my lymphedema is definitely feeling it.
The lymphedema struggle is real, physically and mentally. I get really self-conscious about it and sleeves aren’t an option in this heat and Darlene is Darleneing these days (iykyk). 🥵
To all my fellow lymphies, I see you. Grateful to be alive, but the lymphedema struggle is real. 💕
Time to welcome the queen herself to the pink carpet! 💗
Mary, you do so much for this community and truly make the world a better place. Thank you for letting us be a part of the Wind Chime Ball. We are so grateful for your heart and all the love you share.

Phil and I are incredibly honored to be the MCs of the Butterfly Gala this year. 🦋
As many of you know, Phil was diagnosed with testicular cancer this year, and once again we’ve felt the incredible support from Stewart’s. This mission hits very close to home for our family. 💗
The Butterfly Gala brings our community together for an unforgettable evening supporting Stewart’s Caring Place. This year is especially meaningful as Akron Bikers for B***s will receive the Spirit Award.
Please join us! Link for tickets in bio.
A quick catch up. Don’t worry we have been busy planning our return 💋. Some exciting updates on the horizon🌅! Miss you all. Xoxoxo - Second Base Girlys
