A clinical hypnotherapist from Beverley is backing a scheme that aims to encourage to women throughout the region to check themselves on a regular basis.
At a special event to raise awareness of the importance of examining breasts, for signs of cancer will see hundreds of women bare their chests. #CheckemOutLIVE will be at Hull KR’s LightStream Stadium on Sunday 4 December.
As a mindset specialist, Sheila Granger, clinical hypnotherapist says that taking part in a memorable event will act as a lasting reminder to ensure women regularly check their breasts for signs of change.
Sheila said:
“I am delighted to be running this event to help raise awareness of how to correctly examine ourselves. We are inviting friends and family groups to come along to #CheckemOutLIVE.”
“Following the success of Sea of Hull, many people wished they had taken part and so we thought what better way to make sure this becomes part of our routine, although this will be an indoor event at the Stadium.”
“During the event, I will put the audience at ease and discuss how to feel proud of our bodies, but this will not include hypnotherapy.”
“This will be followed by local award-winning comedienne, Gina Jenkinson who will provide some light-hearted entertainment, and finally Breast Specialist Consultant, Miss Penny McManus will demonstrate how to correctly examine the breasts.”
“Ladies will be asked to remove their upper clothing to examine their own breasts. If they prefer to keep their clothes on, that is fine. Santa hats will be provided on the day.”
As part of the event ladies can choose to pose, topless for a group photo which will be used on social media.
Tickets will be £5, with all proceeds going to Yorkshire Cancer Research.
Money raised will go towards raising awareness of cancer and how to prevent it, promoting screening programmes to increase early detection and funding innovative research projects, from diagnosis to end-of-life care.
