Story

<p>Hi Everyone,</p> <p>My names Clare Taylor. I'm 35 and a married mum of 3 gorgeous boys and i'm encouraging women &amp;&nbsp;men&nbsp;to check for abnormalities in the breast area in a new fresh way.</p> <p>I'm setting up a website called Happy Baps. <a href="http://www.happybaps.com">www.happybaps.com</a></p> <p>I'm asking Women AND men to decorate their breast tastefully and post a picture for the gallery.</p> <p>The idea is that during the process it will hopefully make people think about checking themselves too.</p> <p>I lost my own mother to Ovarian Cancer at the young age of 61 three&nbsp;years ago so i feel very strongly about checking for early signs to hopefully save lives.</p> <p>I set a page up on facebook originally after receiving great feedback from my first photo that i'd posted on my personal profile.</p> <p>But facebook has to stick to its own terms &amp; conditions with having millions of members so some of the photos were deleted.</p> <p>It all started from me receiving yet another chain email asking for me to put my shoe size on my status bar all in aid of Breast Cancer. I dont think looking at somebodies status with a shoe size makes you think about checking yourself and taking care of your own health. Hence my breast photo thought.</p> <p>I posted a photo of my breast looking like a pig,&nbsp;covering the&nbsp; nipple area with a pig snout. Mum LOVED pigs :0)</p> <p>I have members who have admitted they'd never thought to check themselves before and have done it for the first time after seeing Happy Baps.</p> <p>One member actually found a lump after decorating her breast. Thankfully it was just a cyst.</p> <p>THE HAPPY BAPS PLEDGE, THE PROMISE WE SWEAR</p> <p>TO KNOW OUR OWN BODY, TO BE BREAST AWARE</p> <p>WHAT CHANGES TO LOOK FOR, THE SIGNS WE MIGHT SEE</p> <p>THE FIRST SIGNS OF DANGER, TO CALL OUR GP</p> <p>RAISING AWARENESS IN OUR OWN SPECIAL WAY</p> <p>THE HAPPY BAPS GROUP, COME SIGN UP TODAY</p> <p>JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER AND SHOW US SOME SKIN</p> <p>WE'LL FIGHT IT TOGETHER AND TOGETHER WE'LL WIN!!</p> <p>Clare x</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
