Now your family & friends can make a difference

The American Cancer Society will be conducting the Cancer Prevention Study-3 during the month of November. Cancer survivors themselves can not participate but this is open to any person who has NOT had cancer. The goal is to monitor the lifestyle of someone who hasn't had cancer to see what may be different between a cancer patient and non-cancer patient. This study is a two-part survey: one part will be at a specified location to sign consent forms and give a small blood sample. The other part will be conducted through the mail and the participant will just be taking some lifestyle surveys. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone that wants to help find a cure! Check out the attached information and, if someone you know is interested, please email Jennifer Garza at youngsurvivorsisters@gmail.com

I look forward to hearing back from some of you on this!

Lifting Hearts 5K - October 20, 2012

I wanted to take a moment to share with everyone an event that another Utah breast cancer support group (Lifting Hearts) is doing. They are hosting a 5k race at Heritage Park in Cedar Hills, UT to raise funds for their support group. Kara, the President of Lifting Hearts, has told me that survivors can run for FREE in this race! Walgreens will be there doing flu shots and in addition food and goods vendors will be there making this a nice family event. If anyone is interested in participating in this you need to register at: http://www.wedidbreastcancer.com (Even if you're a survivor you still need to register for the event.)

Check out the attached flyer - hope to see some YSS there representing!

Upcoming Golf Tournaments that will benefit US!

Here is some information on two different golf tournaments coming up that will directly impact the Young Survivor Sisters! The first one is called Protect The Pink and will take place this Friday, September 7th at Thanksgiving Point. The second golf tournament, taking place on September 14th at River Oaks, is called the Feel 'Em Up Cup. Both golf tournaments are providing our girls with the chance to apply for a monetary gift that will help ease the burden of cancer expenses.

Check them out and feel free to email me with any questions on these two tournaments! Please, spread the word on these as well because the more people who play = the larger the potential gift!
