Not only is it home to “Mean Girls Day” (Oct. 3)–one of the most iconic dates made famous by Hollywood–but it’s also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. While breast cancer prevention may have traditionally been targeted towards women, more and more doctors and patients are speaking out about the benefits of regular breast cancer screening—regardless of sex or gender—especially when a person’s family history includes a breast cancer diagnosis. One of the many people speaking up is the 41-year-old actor best known for his role in Mean Girls as the heartthrob of North Shore High School, Aaron Samuels. In a new video shared by the actor on Instagram, Bennett reminded his followers of the importance of regular cancer screenings by documenting his experience getting a mammogram. “October is #breastcancerawarenessmonth and I’m showing you what getting a mammogram looks like for me,” Bennett wrote in the caption, “After my husband had a scare a few years ago and with cancer running in both of our families screenings are important to us. Talk to your doctor about what’s right for you,” Plenty of celebrities thanked Bennett for the post, including Katie Couric and Melissa Joan Hart, who commented: “Amazing! Thanks for posting this for us ladies who don’t like to go topless on insta and the millions that have been told it’s painful. Also ….. CUPCAKES! 🧁” Bennett also revealed that he’s teamed up with the Shark Tank sensation, Wicked Good Cupcakes for a fundraiser benefitting the Ellie Fund, a Massachusetts-based nonprofit that provides support and services for breast cancer patients and their families. “I’ve teamed up with @wkdgoodcupcakes to help raise money for @elliefund, which provides essential services for breast cancer patient. For each limited-edition Vanilla Sprinkle cupcake jar sold this month Wicked Good Cupcakes will donate $1 to the Ellie Fund.” For more information on the Ellie Fund, visit its website.
