I recognized that Breast Cancer effects nearly 20 million of people are the world. In 2010 nearly, 207,090 women was diagnosed with breast cancer and 1, 970 men was also diagnosed with breast cancer this is an overwhelming fact. I decided to take action after identify that I classmate I knew had Breast Cancer. I realized that this can happen to any one st any time in their lives. As a young student leaving in a global connected world. This is an absolute issue for everyone.
