Beth Mead, an Arsenal and England winger, shares her experience of losing her mother, June, to cancer, to raise awareness about cervical cancer. Despite the emotional difficulty, she aims to help others through the public health campaign aimed at eliminating cervical cancer by 2040. She highlights the importance of screenings, citing that her mother suffered from both ovarian and cervical cancer. The campaign coincides with the Women's Super League to promote awareness of preventable cancers. Mead's perspective on life has changed profoundly after her mother's illness and her own injuries.
"I know my mum would have wanted me to do that. Perspective is a very interesting thing for me in life now. How can I help people?"
"I think it's a treatable cancer but obviously people don't get checked enough. Hopefully [with this campaign] we can make a real difference."
