Every October, pink ribbons remind us that breast cancer awareness saves lives. But behind those ribbons are real stories of women and men facing the diagnosis, and of teams like Project Flamingo and the Dis-Chem Foundation, and the Estee Lauder Group of Companies, turning fear into action. Together they’re doing everything from upgrading cancer wards and bringing dignity packs to patients, to making early detection accessible for more South Africans.
