The campaign encourages females of any age, to regularly check themselves so that if they notice something unusual they are empowered to contact their GP and advocate for themselves.
They do this because when breast cancer is diagnosed early, treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher, early detection can save lives.
Women’s defender Kathy Hill, spoke on the campaign and its importance of continuing to raise awareness to her and shared her own personal story.
She said: “Coppafeel have come in to raise awareness for breast cancer and just remind everyone to check themselves regularly.
“It is something that means a lot to me, I lost my mum in July 2017 to breast cancer so it is something that I have always been quite passionate about in sharing awareness for.
“When my mum was diagnosed, it was stage four which meant it had already spread so it was already in her bones and other parts of her body.
“Unfortunately that meant that they couldn't cure my mum but they could manage it and they did that for two and a half years.
“Campaigns like this allow us to remind people to check themselves regularly and hopefully that means if and when people are diagnosed that it is caught earlier and it looks a lot more positive for them.”
The 31-year-old has encouraged all females to speak out and regularly check themselves, in order to be able to get treatment as early as possible.
Hill added: “ don't think it is something that the squad talk about. I think people are aware of breast cancer but I don't think we ever have conversations about it and talking about making sure we check ourselves.
“I think that is the importance of having campaigns like this and it is making it more normal having those conversations with each other.
“All the girls know about my mum and my experience. My mum was only 49 when she got diagnosed and just before her 52nd birthday when she passed away.
“For my mum it was still quite young as well but even a girl I went to school with recently was diagnosed.
“The same age as me at 30/31 so it doesn't pick on anyone at any certain ages so it is important that no matter your age that you are checking yourself regularly.
“It means that if you are checking yourself regularly you are aware if there are any changes and that is when you can go and see your GP and even if it is nothing at least you are aware of normal for your body.
“It is not anything to be scared of if anything it should be talking to our friends, teammates and colleagues more regularly and just making sure that we are checking ourselves as often as we can and we know our own bodies.”
The Rangers squad wore pink wrist tape in their weekend’s Sky Sports Cup victory over St Johnstone at Ibrox and Hill is grateful from the regular support of her teammates in the campaign.
She added: “It means a lot to me, the girls know why I wear pink laces and pink tape round my wrist.
“They have done it in previous games in October as well and it is nice when you just see everyone supporting and raising awareness and for me it means a lot to see that support from my teammates as well.”
