Ellen DeGeneres has recorded a series of phone messages that amount to an urgent wake-up call for women: Help yourself fight breast cancer.
DeGeneres, who was asked by vitamin maker One A Day to join the company’s campaign that started Thursday, said she finds an anti-breast cancer program to support each year.
One A Day also is donating money to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
“My mom, 30 years ago, had a mastectomy.
It’s changed my life because I’m highly aware I’m vulnerable to this disease and I get a mammogram every year,” DeGeneres said.
A recent study indicates that the number of women over 40 getting annual mammograms is declining, DeGeneres said, which she finds worrisome.
