In 2019 the Know Your Lemons Foundation (KYL) partnered with B-Force of Borstkankervereniging Nederland, a breast cancer patient association based in the Netherlands, to conduct a study among 1,407 breast cancer patients.

“I am not a doctor, a teacher or even a very confident public speaker, but I now know that to play a role in the fight against cancer you don't have to be. As an Educator you don't need to give a formal lecture, you just need to get a conversation started and be approachable.”

Along with a slew of other negative side effects, drinking alcohol has been linked to a higher risk for developing breast cancer.

Originally from Italy, Denise Baldacci is one of our Certified Global Educators living in Berlin, Germany. Having a history of breast cancer in her family, she was always told she needed to perform self-exams, but was never shown how.

Being able to spot these breast cancer symptoms could save your life.

Today in Burundi, Africa, if a woman finds a symptom of breast cancer and shows her doctor, she will most likely get turned away. Why?

“It wasn’t until I saw the Know Your Lemons campaign after my diagnosis that I realized I had more signs and symptoms than just a lump. I wish I had known about them earlier.”

2020 was an INCREDIBLE year for the #KnowYourLemons campaign.

Although we train educators worldwide, Wales is particularly close to our heart because of our patient advisory board member, Dawn Wilson.
