Essence of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation in collaboration with Beckon of Hope Women are slated to hold a health fair and take away luncheon at 17 Degrees on Victoria Road on Saturday 7th October.

During this event, attendees will get a chance to receive free mammograms, free blood pressure and diabetes screening along with pamphlets containing health information.

Champs of Charity Foundation is expected to collaborate with the Essence of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation on October 15th to host a charity Gospel Concert at FLOW Grounds featuring Radical Praise, Bridget Lutra and Adrian Cunningham.

Proceeds from this event will go towards assisting the hurricane ravaged island of Dominica.

The Founder made a clarion call to women over 40 to get checked.

“If you are over 40, the first gift to yourself is getting a mammogram,” she said, noting that prevention is better than cure.
