Write A Song, Bring A Smile.

The month of October is internationally celebrated as Breast Cancer
Awareness Month - commonly referred to as BCAM.

Here, in Singapore, at least 1300 women are diagnosed with breast cancer
every year. This number is increasing by 3% annually. Nearly 250 women die
from breast cancer in Singapore, every year. But Breast Cancer need not
mean a death sentence, if women are more aware of the benefits of regular
breast screening and measures that lower the risk of breast cancer.

The Breast Unit of KK Women's and Children's Hospital has undertaken
various initiatives to spread this message to the women of Singapore.

Towards this end, they are running a Song Writing Competition, called BCAM
JAM.

Through this contest, they aim to derive songs that will encourage patients
of breast cancer, celebrate survivors of the disease, and inspire greater
consciousness among other audiences. The contest is open till 5 October
2009.
