The sports star admitted she found baring herself in this video challenging at times, but was willing to push herself for a worthy cause.

“Yes, this put me out of my comfort zone, but I wanted to do it because it’s an issue that affects all women of all colors, all around the world. Early detection is key – it saves so many lives. I just hope this helps to remind women of that,” she said.
