How to start a Buddy Check 12 team here on 43things, in support of Breast Cancer awareness. Do your self-exam the 12th of every month. by Cheryl's ♥ Will Go On∞

"This has been the most heartfelt gratifying thing I've ever done."

How I did it:

I decided I wanted to help get the word out about "Breast Cancer Awareness" by encouraging people to do their monthly self-exams. I am a survivor of this dreaded disease. Early detection saved my life. I sent out literally hundreds of invites to fellow 43T'ers who responded immediately in overwhelming numbers. The Buddy Check 12 Team is still active and reporting in every month on the 12th. Go Team!

How I did it: With the help of other wonderful women, I gradually taught myself to make this a monthly habit.  I know that I check in late sometimes, but the most important thing would be to just do it, even if the appointed date has already come and gone. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Every month on the 12th I had to do a breast exam and report in to the group.  Reporting in was at times difficult due to connection problems, but I did my exam religiously.  Happy to say that in the months that I was part of this team I have encountered no suspicious lumps and bumps.

    Strange check – nothing of concern in the end but I was sore from a workout yesterday so I felt that while doing my BSE. I little bit uncomfortable, that’s all. But I feel good having done this. Happy 12th everyone!

    How do I join?! Since I really have no friends (I moved away from my hometown and the ppl I grew up with), I would really love to join a group. Friends are important to me and we as women should help each other any way we can.
