A Memorable Day at the “Pink Wobbly Breast Odyssey” Event.

A Memorable Day at the “Pink Wobbly Breast Odyssey” Event. | I recently had the privilege of attending the Pink Wobbly Breast Odyssey event, an inspiring collaboration between Jobbie Natural Peanut Butter and the Malaysian National Cancer Council (MAKNA) in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, or as many of us call it, Pink October. Held at the Damansara Specialist Hospital 2 (DSH2), the event was nothing short of extraordinary, packed with meaningful activities and a powerful message about the importance of breast health.  

From the moment I arrived, I could feel the warmth and energy of over 100 guests, including VIPs, media, collaborators, and content creators. Among the notable attendees were MAKNA's Deputy General Manager, Vemanna Appannah, and influencer Maryam You Narae (Maryam Durian Kimchi), who added a touch of star power to the day.  

Limited-Edition Pink Jars with Purpose  

The highlight for me was Jobbie's unveiling of their limited-edition *Pink Wobbly Breast Odyssey* peanut butter jars. The design was striking, with a bold pink label and breast cancer awareness information. Each jar symbolizes the courage and vulnerability of those affected by breast cancer. Knowing that RM1 from every jar sold goes to MAKNA’s breast health initiatives made it even more meaningful.  

It’s heartening to see a brand like Jobbie stepping up not just to spread awareness but also to provide tangible support for survivors and those currently battling breast cancer.  

Wellness Activities That Inspire  

The event wasn’t just about talks and donations; it offered a holistic experience that resonated deeply with me.  

We started with a relaxing yoga session, a reminder of how mental health is intricately linked to physical well-being, especially for individuals fighting cancer. The Wobbly Breast Hall of Fame exhibition was another standout feature, showcasing artwork inspired by the campaign’s themes. It was moving to see how creativity could be used to express such a powerful cause.  

Another favorite part of the day was the experiential stations. I got to create my own art piece, which was both fun and therapeutic. Plus, the free breast cancer screening provided by DSH2 was a thoughtful touch, ensuring that guests left not only inspired but also informed about their own health.  

Powerful Insights from Experts and Survivors  

The event also featured two incredible speakers who shared their expertise and personal journeys. Dr. Haliza Kamarudin, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist, emphasized the importance of regular screenings like mammograms and self-examinations. Her talk was a great reminder that taking proactive steps can make all the difference.  

Cancer survivor and advocate Choo Mei Sze shared her deeply personal story, which was both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Listening to her talk about her journey of resilience and the role her loved ones played in her recovery left many of us teary-eyed but hopeful.  

A Call to Action  

This event was more than just a campaign launch; it was a rallying call for all of us to prioritize breast health and support those affected by breast cancer. The statistics shared during the event were sobering—breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among Malaysian women, and nearly half of the cases are diagnosed at advanced stages. This underscores the importance of early detection and regular screenings, especially for women over 40.  

My Takeaway  

Attending the Pink Wobbly Breast Odyssey was an unforgettable experience. It wasn’t just the activities or the campaign’s creative approach that made it special, but the sense of community and shared purpose.  

I left feeling inspired to do more—whether that’s spreading awareness, encouraging loved ones to get screened, or simply supporting initiatives like this. Kudos to Jobbie, MAKNA, and DSH2 for putting together such a meaningful and impactful event.  

If you haven’t already, grab one of those pink Jobbie jars and be a part of this incredible journey.
