#FashionMeetsScience : Facing the reality of BRCA1, renowned supermodel and iconic fashion figure
@biancabalti asked herself, “What would I want my daughters to do in the same situation?” The answer was clear: I would want them to do everything in their power to reduce their risk of illness and protect their future. It is a choice born out of love and responsibility.”
On September 18th,
@biancabalti graced the stage at the
@f4dofficial_ !!re!!_039;s 3rd Annual Sustainable Goal Banquet titled “Healthier people, healthier planet,” in the heart of New York at
@583parkavenue , during the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA78), to share a deeply moving testimonial of her personal journey, one marked by a genetic mutation known as BRCA1, which significantly elevates the risk of both breast and ovarian cancer. She delved into the pivotal moments of her diagnosis, the fears she grappled with, and the motivation that led her to embrace preventative measures.
As we observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to
@biancabalti for her tireless efforts in spreading the message that genetic testing is a powerful instrument in detecting diseases before they affect individuals and their families. Her advocacy instills hope for a future where fewer lives are marred by diseases that can, indeed, be prevented. With role models like Bianca, we continue to strive towards a world where health and well-being triumphs!
