Join us now to help support cervical cancer
 On Day 1 

Dear Diary.....


What is the most important date in your diary?Your hair appointment I hear you yell!Or perhaps it's that manicure you have been promising to treat yourself to,or could it be that sale you were going to visit to bag yourself a bargin? No, wrong!The most important date you will make is the one where you go for a smear test!


So what motivated Lauren and myself to put on this awareness raising event? Well as you can probably tell we are both women who value our health and have been moved by the story of Big Brother celebrity and mother Jade Goody and her battle with cervical cancer as well as other women we have come into contact with,that have battled with Cancer and its effects.We figured when we started planning this event that it would be really valuable to reach even a handful of woman globally on this important issue and that our blogs were a really great way of helping us achieve that!
Stay tuned for our exciting competition Heels That Heal, three gorgeous prizes up for grabs, after these facts we would like to share with you -


Cervical Cancer Facts


Cervical Cancer is the 2nd most common Cancer among women
There are now two tests to test for Cervical Cancer, the Pap test the standard test that most of you may already of had and a newer test called the HPV test, this test can detect the possible risk of you developing Cervical Cancer very early on,which will allow women who are potentially at risk to be monitored closely.
Those that are sexually active at a younger age are more at risk of developing Cervical Cancer.
Many women delay or avoid Cervical Smear (Pap) testing due to embarrasment.


Please show your support today and help us reach out to as many woman as possible by grabbing our gorgeous Dear Diary button top right of this page and displaying it proudly on your blog.Many thanks to Maria for this.x
