A long-time champion of proactive health care for women and worldwide, Curves is delighted to continue its world-wide commitment to the fight against breast cancer by becoming a sponsor of the Dove Star Walk 2008.
Curves has always been a strong advocate for breast health awareness by waiving Club joining fees with proof of a mammogram. But this year, Curves has partnered with entertainer Olivia Newton John to increase breast health awareness.
Olivia Newton John and Curves are on a mission to put ONE MILLION Olivia™ Aid Breast Self-Exam Kits into the hands of women around the world this October! During this October, Curves is giving away a FREE Olivia Aid Breast Exam Kit to any women who walks into a Curves Club for a fitness assessment.
The Olivia Aid Kit was inspired by Australian superstar Olivia Newton-John after her successful experience with breast self-exam 16 years ago-she found a cancerous lump and credits early detection with saving her life. Olivia Aid is a tool designed to help a woman maintain breast health by feeling more comfortable when performing your personal breast exam. Acting as a magnifying glass for your fingers, the Aid greatly enhances the ability to detect any abnormality which in many cases, can lead to early detection and a better chance of a cure for breast cancer.
