Gifting retailer Moonpig is launching one of its best card ranges to date this October to mark Breast Cancer Awareness month.
The eye-catching cards are designed to encourage people to remind each other to check their breasts and have been created in collaboration with ITV’s Lorraine and its Change + Check campaign, whose producer, Helen Addis, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018.
The cheeky four-card range is bust-ing with punny one liners and light-hearted humour; reminding people to check their breasts,
The best news? Throughout the month of October all cards from this range are free to send using code: FREECHECK at the checkout.
The cards also feature a QR code which goes directly to an easy to follow guide on how to check for the signs of breast cancer.
Checking for signs of breast cancer is crucial for early detection and ultimately saving lives.
Sarah-Jane Porter, Global Design & Licensing Director at Moonpig said: “We’re thrilled to be collaborating with ITV ’s Lorraine and its Change + Check campaign to help educate people on the importance of self-checks.
We know life can get busy and we all need a little reminder to look after ourselves. Cards have the ability to not only connect people, but deliver important and emotional messages; which is why they’re perfect to encourage more women (and men) to check for the early signs and ultimately save lives in the long run.”
Since Change + Check launched in 2019, it has been placing ‘reminder’ stickers in bathrooms and changing facilities across the UK to remind people to check for symptoms of breast cancer.
The latest collaboration with Moonpig enables the campaign to drive home this message through the nation’s letterboxes - something which its founder and breast cancer thriver, Helen Addis, understands the importance of.
Helen Addis, breast cancer survivor, Lorraine Producer and founder of the Change + Check campaign, said: “I remember chatting to my friends throughout my 18 months of treatment and was amazed at how many of them didn’t check their boobs.
Breast cancer can happen to anybody - men and women, young and old - which is why people need to get to know their bodies better, so they can spot any signs of change."
The Change + Check campaign was launched by its ambassador and TV presenter Lorraine Kelly, to further raise awareness for the cause.
