So what does ‘Make the FLIP’ mean? The simple answer is… anything you want it to.
For me, personally, it is a mental shift – starting to make the connection between how I live and how I feel. It’s about making decisions today that will allow me to always be able to do things I want to and avoiding things that could stand in the way (cancer).
For you, it could mean making time for yourself. It could mean avoiding a disease common in your family. It could mean a commitment to try something new. Or maybe you’ve already ‘Made the FLIP’ … so it’s just about maintaining your progress.
Our goal is to engage an educate our community of enthusiasts in cancer prevention. Prevention might be a targeted goal for you, or it could end up just being a positive side effect of whatever change you are striving for… either way, we are all headed in the same direction! We are very excited and committed to supporting all of our enthusiasts and hope you will stay engaged and continue to help build this movement with us!
Here’s where we are focusing our efforts:
