Summary

This week on Sickboy, the guys sit down with founder of Rethink Breast Cancer, MJ DeCoteau. After losing her mother and grandmother to breast cancer she was inspired to rethink the way we talk about this illness. Reimagining dated and impersonal initiatives, she steered the movement towards a younger demographic and gave them the resources to understand how to cope. The guys dive into MJ’s story of personal loss, learn about boob health, bust some boob cancer myths, and (most importantly) find out about a raging party that you don’t want to miss. Buckle up for a show full of Avatar references and boys asking questions about boobies!
