🌸 Our Executive Director, Mrs. Roshane Reid-Koomson, proudly represented the Jamaica Cancer Society at the launch of the Pink Run 💕.

This event is more than fundraising—it’s a movement for breast cancer awareness and early detection.

✨ 3 Key Reminders for Women’s Health:
🔹 Age 40+ → Get a mammogram every year.
🔹 Under 40 with family history → Talk to your doctor about starting annual mammograms earlier.
🔹 NHF cardholders → Get a $3,000 subsidy on mammograms at JCS. (No doctor’s signature is needed on NHF applications for mammograms or Pap smears!)

💖 See you on Race Day — Sunday, October 26!
