Sofia Vergara shares an important health message for all women

Sofia Vergara burst onto the scene thanks to her starring role in Modern Family, and now the brunette beauty is using her fame to raise awareness of the importance of regular mammograms.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the 45-year-old actress has thrown her support behind the campaign by sharing an Instagram video of herself posing in front of a mammography machine, captioned, “You have to do it!!!”

Amazingly, her post seems to have worked, with fans praising her for encouraging other women to have their breasts checked, and one even writing, “Going to make my appointment tomorrow!”

It’s not the first time the actress has been candid about breast health, either. In May last year, she shared a selfie at the mammogram clinic, captioned, “It’s that time of year again.”
