Curves is no stranger to the fight against breast cancer — having raised millions for the cause — but this year they are taking it a step further through a partnership with Olivia Newton-John and the Liv® Aid, the ingenious breast self-exam tool that she helped develop.

With more than 10,000 locations in 55 countries, Curves is the world's largest fitness franchise and the ninth largest of all franchise companies in the world. It is best known for its 30-minute low impact workout.
"Being a breast cancer 'thriver,' I know that early detection is key to good breast health," says Newton-John, whose cancer was diagnosed in 1992 and who is now cancer-free.
Member clubs of the Curves Coop of Middle Tennessee are joining the effort by offering Liv® Aid breast self-exam kits during October Breast Cancer Awareness Month and individually hosting Girls Night In events in late October.
Girls Night In is open to both members and non-members alike and will include a variety of ways for attendees to obtain free (value $24.95) and discounted Liv Aids. To help Liv Aid recipients remember to use them, they can sign up to receive complimentary monthly e-mail alerts from Newton-John.
