I Touch Myself Project launched in 2014, following the passing of celebrated diva, Chrissy Amphlett of Divinyls.
Chrissy was passionate about spreading awareness of the importance of early detection and wanted the global hit song I Touch Myself to be adapted as an anthem for breast health around the world. The Project was created in Chrissy’s honour with a mission to create educational forums to remind women to check their breasts regularly and to take action if there are any changes.
*Donations go to the I TOUCH MYSELF PROJECT, a registered breast health awareness charity in the United States.
1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Yet early detection gives you a much greater chance of beating it. Almost half of all breast cancers are found by women touching themselves. Become more in touch with your breast health—know how they look and how they feel. Make it a habit. Check your breasts regularly. And if something’s changed see your doctor.
Until all digital assistants can tell you how to get in touch with your breast health, you can listen to the information here.
An Alexa skill that guides you through a breast check will be soon available in Australia.
