Breast cancer, being a horrible disease, is garnering a lot of attention and awareness. Thousands of foundations and charity organizations all over the world have been launched to make people aware of the plight of a woman with breast cancer. Countless initiatives and wellness days have been created to educate women on how to identify potential problems with their breasts. Boob art is just one of these campaigns.

One way that people raise funds that go to women who suffer from this disease is through body painting. One organization makes use of women who have survived as models. An artist gets to know these women and paints on their chests and abdomen exquisite pieces of work that suit the women.

One such painting that really was outstanding was a woman who had a phoenix painted on her breasts and abdomen. It was reborn from of the flames, seeming to signify the strength that this women had. She had gone through an ordeal and had risen out of the depths of hell to begin again.

As an example, one photograph contained a woman whose body paint was that of a phoenix rising out of the flames that was painted across her chest and abdomen. The colors are bright and the effect is striking. All of this kind of work is done very tastefully and the women are covered effectively. There are many other types of charities that use this form of work as part of their awareness campaigns.

No matter what the campaign is about, every one of them is to raise awareness and educate women how to take care of themselves during such an ordeal. They teach women how to identify potential problem spots on themselves. Above all this, the money that is raised is donated towards women who suffer from breast cancer to help them pay for medical bills or help them to get the proper treatment. They will also provide other types of support such as nursing assistance or to pay for hospice for these women.

All the money that is made will be donated to foundations that are dedicated to help women who are going through the ordeal of treatment. All these campaigns and events are meant to provide education to women. It builds awareness so that this cancer can be caught early which is then easier to treat.

Another organization designs and makes t-shirts with messages with regard to breasts that are humorous. These t-shirts have become very popular because the buyer is contributing to the cause to increase breast cancer awareness. Some other campaigns include contributing hair to make wigs for women that have lost their hair during treatment of their cancer.

Many women cannot afford to get the best treatment and these foundations assist them. Boob art is a wonderful expression of the beauty and strength of survivors. It's not just a way to raise funds; it's also a way to show others that they are still alive, with dreams and not going anywhere.
