We are Loono. We show how important prevention is. We organize educational workshops and lectures in companies, schools and festivals. We write articles and film videos. We talk about health and human body intelligibly; we do not scare with frightening statistics and we inspire others to look after themselves with care and in time.We are a team of young doctors, medical students and other enthusiasts. Patronage of Loono is provided by the First Faculty of Medicine of Charles University. Our scholarly guarantors are doctors from departments of gynaecology, urology, cardiology and general medicine.Young patients with breast, testicular cancer or other kinds of organ cancer can contact us. We gladly include them in our community, advise them, listen to them and help them with anything they will need. Our first campaign, "I Touch Them Every Month - #prsakoule (#boobsandballs)", draws attention to the importance of self-examination in prevention of breast and testicular cancer. Its goal is to teach young people how to properly and regularly examine their breasts and testicles and discover any potential cancer in time. As only few people know that they should do so-called self-examination at least once a month.We have trained more than 35,000 people in breast and testicular cancer prevention from whom 42 people have discovered cancer in time. However, it is not enough and we want to continue in our mission.We launched a new campaign "Your heart for life" in September 2017 which teaches especially young people not only how to prevent cardiovascular diseases and how to discover them in time, but also how to react if they find themselves or anybody else in a situation of having a heart attack or stroke. As only few people know how to take care of their hearts and vessels properly. The official campaign hashtag is #zijessrdcem (#yourheartforlife).You can follow us on other social media under @loonocz.Loono team <3.www.loono.cz/en
