I was asked to be the guest speaker at Liberty High in Clarksburg WV on Oct 17, 2008. October is breast cancer awareness month and Liberty High and Robert C Byrd High Schools are having the first Volley for a Cure event in the state on Oct 18th and all the proceeds raised will go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure WV affiliate. I was able to speak to all the female students about the importance of self breast exams and also talked about risk factors such as being a women, getting older, and family inheritance. With any money that is raised in the name of Susan G. Komen for a Cure, 75% of those funds stay in the state to be used to create grants while 25% goes to continued research.
