I started the day thinking these selfies were self indulgent and pointless, I've now changed my mind but ONLY if people remember to post the reason for doing it. Remind women to check their breasts TODAY and to donate if they can.
We older ladies may know about breast cancer, but many younger women don't know how to check themselves.
Many older women don't know how to check themselves.
Of all the women who do know how to check themselves, many may have forgotten to recently. Your selfie should prompt them to do so.
Many would think to donate, despite being in a position to.
So yes it does raise awareness and funds, but does so most effectively when accompanied by the clear message as to why!
I've changed my mind about the selfies since realising this, who else will?
