Don't Duck It!

As you may already know, my mum was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer ('nose cancer' is so much easier to type out wtf.. had to Google 'nasophy' and wait for the proper spelling to pop up) about 12 years ago. Since then, we as a family have been so much more aware about cancer and health in general so it only made sense that, when I was given the opportunity, to do something to support the cancer awareness cause.

Don't Duck It is a collaboration between Assunta Hospital, Asia Assistance, Jaya One and Pj Live Arts, founded to encourage community support for the breast and cervical cancer awareness cause. Also, Don't Duck It hopes to raise funds for Assunta Hospital Foundation's Social Welfare Fund which provides subsidised or free-of-charge treatments to patients who can't afford healthcare otherwise 

But Don't Duck It isn't all lectures and/or uniformed nurses going around and dispensing medical information: it's going to be FUN! With Quacky Kart Races, a Fashion Walk (I'm going to be walking in it, whee!), a raffle draw, a go-kart track as well as breast check-ups, you will definitely be entertained.

Your participation in this event doesn't just stop at getting your boobs checked or taking part in the raffle draw - DDI (getting seriously lazy to type it out in its entirety) is actually a social media campaign under Passionately You that aims to further their reach into the community using social media in various forms and ideas (on-ground as well as going viral).
