On October 12th, 2011, ECPC supported Europa Donna's Breast Health Day event at the European Parliament. The event, which is part of an information campaign leading up to Breast Health Day on October 15th, brought the message of cancer prevention and awareness to the European Parliament.

Europa Donna, a partner with whom ECPC has worked on numerous projects, has made October 15th Europe's Breast Health Day. This year, the focus is on Making Healthy Choices, emphasising the importance of daily lifestyle choices on future breast health.

About Breast Health Day

The 15 October 2011 Breast Health Day campaign is focused on raising awareness of lifestyle choices that can help prevent breast cancer later in life. Engaging in physical activity, maintaining a normal body weight and eating a healthy diet can help protect breast health. In addition to women in general, the campaign reaches out to younger women and girls through social networking sites.

Among other materials, it also includes a video and an online application for women to identify and commit to positive lifestyle resolutions related to physical activity. Campaign materials and further information, visit the Breast Health Day website.
