This Tuesday, October 19, is the International Breast Cancer Awareness Day. Being a disease that
affects a large part of the female population, the aim is to raise awareness and promote that more and more women
can have access to diagnosis, controls and effective treatments.
Early detection is essentialbecause it reduces by 25% the probability of death and increases the
possibility of eradicating the disease.
That is why at Reysan Atlantic ®, we want to show our solidarity and do our bit.
3% of all sales made today will be donated to research to find new ways to
prevent, diagnose and treat this disease.
We also want to send a message of support and strength to all those women who suffer from this
disease so that they do not give up. We must emphasize the importance of breast cancer
prevention through self-examination, regular check-ups and diagnostic tests.
