MOTIVATION MONDAY Just as a few dirty drops cannot define the ocean, a few failures cannot define your journey. Keep your faith in humanity—goodness and kindness still surround us. Never let “I can’t” or “I don’t know” stop you. Say, “I’m willing to learn, and I’ll find a way.” Challenge yourself. Be willing to change. Turn your setbacks into lessons that move you toward success. You are here for a purpose. Share your goodness. Choose kindness. Keep moving and passing your light!

The earlier breast cancer is diagnosis , the better the chance of successful treatment. So it's important to check your breasts regularly and see your GP if you notice a change. Common breast cancer signs and symptoms include: • a lump or swelling in the breast, upper chest or armpit – you might feel the lump but not see it • a change to the skin, such as puckering or dimpling • a change in the colour of the breast – the breast may look red or inflamed • a change to the nipple, for example it has become pulled in (inverted) rash or crusting around the nipple • any unusual liquid (discharge) from either nipple changes in size or shape of the breast Check the whole breast area, including your upper chest and armpits. Do this regularly to check for changes. It’s as simple as TLC: Touch, Look, and Check

This BCAM, Leah reflects on Dr. Don McKenzie’s research and her own paddling journey. She rebuilt PFC with $25. Imagine how far funding could take us. Research matters. Wellness deserves investment, too. Video courtesy of Abreast in a Boat: vimeo.com/130027757
