The Daisy Wheel was developed in 2004 with a team of medical professionals, after Founder Mary Ann Wasil’s breast cancer diagnosis. She wanted everyone to be armed and equipped with the information they need to be their own health advocates and know their “normal” through breast self-examination, just like she was.
Today, the Daisy Wheel, which educates on the 8 steps on how to perform a breast self-exam, has reached over one million students in all 50 U.S. states and 34 countries.
The Get In Touch Foundation’s Daisy Wheel Program is free to school nurses and health educators implementing it to grades 5-12. It has reached over one million students in all 50 U.S. states and 34 countries. The Daisy Wheel turned digital so ANYONE can have immediate access to this free information!

It is important to note that breast self-exams should not replace regular mammograms or clinical breast exams by a healthcare professional; however, they can be used as an additional tool for early detection of breast cancer.
