#LGFB – Looking Good can make you Feel Better

Look Good… Feel Better is an amazing non-profit organisation that aims to support and uplift cancer patients through their free beauty workshops. These workshops assist women to manage the side effects that chemotherapy and radiotherapy can have on the appearance, thereby helping to restore their self image.

LGFB first started in the US in 1989 and is now active in 26 countries. It was introduced to South Africa in 2004 and has grown to the extent that there are now 280 trained volunteers offering the workshops at 39 treatment centres (hospitals and clinics) across the country. The workshops also provide an invaluable opportunity to connect with other women undergoing the same treatments, to help deal with the sense of isolation and emotional turmoil that typifies the cancer journey.

This powerful video of a workshop held at Groote Schuur shares the effects that cancer treatments have on the skin, as well as interviews with two doctors and four patients undergoing treatment.

Please share this video and spread the word about the invaluable work of Look Good… Feel Better.

I’m sure you’ve noticed that almost everything has gone pink to raise awareness as October is #breastcancerawareness month. I think it’s awesome.

I’ve gone pink too. I visited Stylebar yesterday to have my hair done and to have my easihair pro pink extension put in.
