29 September 2008

Breast screeningCancer Research UK has launched a viral video in the build up to Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

According to Brand Republic, the aim of the campaign is to increase awareness of self-examination and encourage women to donate to the charity.

The video features a woman demonstrating how best to examine breasts with a male assistant there to lend a hand.

Sarah Pickersgill, fundraising manager at Cancer Research UK, said she hopes the campaign will encourage women to remain vigilant when it comes to this aspect of their health.

"Through this video we hope to remind as many women as possible of the importance of being breast aware and encourage them to donate to the charity to help ongoing research into the disease," she said.

Cancer Research UK launched in 2002 following the merger of the Cancer Research Campaign and the Imperial Cancer Research Fund.
