Anastacia to Help Repay Breast Cancer Boost

Having sensed a lull of sorts in her career back in the early part of 2003, singer/songwriter Anastacia tried to shock the world by announcing that at the relatively young age of 29 she had breast cancer. Now with the fanfare on her washboard stomach looking dimmer than the time of her operation, US Lifetime Television have come to her aid and have enlisted the artist as their new spokesperson for its "Stop Breast Cancer for Life" campaign.

The initiative, now in its ninth year, will annex a newly created Anastacia Fund to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and continue to raise the awareness of early breast cancer detection.

"We are honoured to announce our partnership with Anastacia to help spread the word about life saving breast cancer messages," said Meredith Wagner, Executive Vice President, Public Affairs, Lifetime Television. "In the past year, news headlines regarding recent scientific studies resulted in confusion about the screening tools for detecting breast cancer. Many answers are still unknown, but Lifetime's message, which is informed by leading experts and advocates, is simple. Women should know all of the tools available including getting an annual mammogram, scheduling a clinical breast exam, and checking their breasts regularly for changes." She added, "As a young survivor lending her strong voice to the cause, Anastacia will help save millions of lives."

Considering the form of Anastacia's cancer was pretty aggressive the fact that it was detected early may have been why she can continue to wear shades for her life and career.
