12 News, Scottsdale Healthcare, McDonalds and the Phoenix Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation have teamed up to provide the community with Buddy Check 12.
This year 40,110 American women will die of breast cancer. Also, 1,450 men will be diagnosed and 470 men will die of breast cancer. You don't have to be one of them.
The Buddy Check 12 program is simple and free. On the 12th of each month, you and your buddy remind each other to perform a breast self-exam. Buddy Check12 will send you a monthly reminder to do your Breast Self Exam via phone or e-mail that includes valuable information about medical breakthroughs and breast health.
