Review for American Cancer Society Foundation, Atlanta, GA, USA
I am a ten year breast cancer survivor and became involved with the American Cancer Society after my diagnois. In the early days of "Tell A Friend" campaign (reminding friends and loved ones to get a mammogram) moving on to Reach to Recovery (being available to help others facing breast cancer)I Can Cope, and Relay For Life for nine years, I have taken up the FIGHT to help and eliminate cancer whether it be talking to friends about the importance of early detection and diagnois, visiting someone who has a breast cancer diagnois, or speaking directly to my legislators in the State of Kentucky or in Washington D.C. The Society's goal is to eliminate cancer through research, education, advocacy, and service. It is a volunteer driven organization whose staff is constantly sharing new ideas and information. I am very proud to be an ACS volunteer.
