February is National Cancer Prevention Awareness month. This month as we also celebrate Valentines Day, I hope we will give our family and friends the greatest gift of all, which is love.
One way that we can show love is by helping others and ourselves to stay healthy. We cannot prevent every medical disease or illness but we can help prevent cancer.
Early cancer screenings, eating right, staying active, staying away from tobacco and being safe in the sun are just a few ways that we can prevent cancer. The gift of love is given with time, preventing cancer can mean giving people more time with loved ones, being able to create more memories, and celebrate more birthdays with those we love. You can learn more about preventing cancer by going to cancer.org.
This year all of the Team Captain Meetings are being held the second Wednesday of every month. If you are interested in becoming a participant or even a team captain contact Kayla Jonas kaylajrelay@hotmail.com or Amber Gourley at gogogourley@yahoo.com.
We are excited for this years' event and would love to have more help in fighting cancer. Please give the gift of love this month by living healthy, helping those with cancer and in turn giving people the gift of time with loved ones.
