🎗️ Naši bližnji, prijatelji, susjedi, ljudi koje svakodnevno susrećemo, ali i svatko od nas – može se suočiti s dijagnozom raka. Gotovo svi već poznajemo nekoga tko se s bori s ovom opakom bolešću, nekoga tko se liječi, tko je pobijedio ili tko je, nažalost, izgubio svoju bitku.

Stigao je #Movember - jer o muškom zdravlju, fizičkom i mentalnom, ne pričamo dovoljno i otvoreno.
Pridruži se izazovu, pusti brk i budi podsjetnik da briga o sebi spašava živote. 💙
