The aim of my project

The aim of a project is really important. This is the purpose and intention of the project so it has to be specific to what you want to do and what you want to achieve during the period of time given.

My project is about breast cancer and my aim is to spread the knowledge about the disease. I want to make girls and women aware of this awful disease in this early stage of our lives, even though we are only just 18 years old. According to statics from cancerfonden.se only 5 % diagnosed with breast cancer are under 40 years of age. Even though this number is so low I really see the importance in spreading the awareness and knowledge right now.

I want to achieve this by selling Rosa Bandet, which is the Swedish symbol for breast cancer. Also I am going to start and run a fund site on Cancerfondens website where people can donate money to Rosa Bandet. Searching the internet and talking to doctors will be my sources for information to get the knowledge about the disease and then on the day of the culture café I want to hold a presentation to spread the knowledge I have learned and also go through the different steps of how to check yourself at home for the early symptoms of breast cancer.
