A group from the "Underwear Affair" presented about a fund run. Participation in the Underwear Affair helps lift the taboo connected with cancers below the waist. Why are these cancers considered "taboo?" These cancers affect areas of the body that may be uncomfortable to talk about and that are often seen as embarrassing or shameful. One may not want to see a physician to get screened for these types of cancers. This makes care and treatment an unexplored option to some of those who need it. Shedding light on these cancers means more awareness and more funding, making research and treatment a reality.
