Mark for Life was developed in conjunction with a leading oncologist. Put on our T-shirt once a month, follow the pattern, and the T-shirt teaches you how to do a thorough breast self exam. Included in this kit is a pen to mark any lumps directly on the T-shirt. This is especially helpful for women with fibrous breasts, as they can create a baseline as to what is normal for their breasts.

"Early detection saves lives and relies on three components: breast self-exam, regular physician visits, and mammography. Mark for Life's breast exam T-shirt raises awareness of the need for breast self examination and breast cancer vigilance."
