The initiative is in its second year and aims to equip best friends with regular tips, tricks, support and guidance to stay on top of for their own and their best friend’s health.
“Women turn to their besties for health support and advice. Knowledge is power, and having your best friend’s back and supporting them with information and tips to always be on top of their health is the ultimate pinky promise,” said Krystal Barter, founder of Pink Hope and BRCA gene mutation carrier.
To celebrate this worthwhile cause, BFF’s Pip Edwards and Leah Simmons have shared why they’re making the ultimate pinky promise.
Pip Edwards
Co-Founder/Director of P.E NATION
It is important to be in control of your health because… it impacts your emotions, your output, your energy levels, your confidence.
Leah is… the most trusting, honest, selfless friend I could ever have.
Leah Simmons
Founder of Body by Leah Simmons
Anything that brings awareness to women’s health issue is… a no-brainer for me to support! Without good health you can’t have anything else.
Pip…was dating a friend of mine and I had to “approve” her. We ended up ditching him and keeping our friendship! Our sons are friends and we see each other a lot. Lots of singing, laughing and sometimes crying. It is really important to have someone close to you that you can confide in if things are a bit “weird” health wise.
