One in three Americans will face a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society. Inside South Florida welcomed Sarrah Strimel Bentley, a breast cancer survivor diagnosed at just 38, who is teaming up with Aflac to launch the new Check for Cancer campaign. The goal: increase early cancer screenings by 10% over the next decade.
Sarrah discovered her cancer through self-advocacy and urges others to do the same. “I advocated for myself, got checked, and saved my own life,” she shared. The campaign is built on the power of reminders; everyday checkered patterns are being used as visual cues to prompt screenings. And for every social media post using #CheckForCancer, Aflac will donate $5 to childhood cancer care and research, up to $1 million.
Watch the full segment to hear Sarrah’s inspiring story and learn how early detection can save lives. For more information, visit aflac.com/checkforcancer.
