Breast Cancer Awareness: Spreading the Word in Style at SensAsia

sensasia urban spaA lot of organizations are proudly supporting global and local drives to raise awareness of breast cancer this October. Breast cancer is still accounting for more than 30% of female deaths in the UAE.  And one in 10 Arab girls born today is predicted to be diagnosed with the disease later in life. With these statistics, SensAsia Urban Spa is once again encouraging you and I to seize the chance to support this vital cause, while we improve our own wellbeing.

With their strong 11-year partnership with Friends of Cancer Patients, this year SensAsia has created a bespoke treatment, embroidered neck pillow and essential oil for its 2016 initiative. Once again, profits will be donated to the Sharjah-based charity, which has been fighting to improve the lives of local people affected by cancer since 1999, under the patronage of her highness Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Al Qasimi.
