You can follow their experiences here on the YSC pages. I expect next Monday they may show up on the morning news shows so tune in!This Saturday night I and several other YSC Central Ohio survivors an
d supporters will be attending Celebrate to benefit the Vicki Speakman Memorial Fund. The Fund has provided travel scholarships for 4 years and running for area survivors to attend the annual Conference for Young Women Affected By Breast Cancer. The Conference is an amazing experience is invaluable and uber-empowering for a young survivor. As I have always said about it - when you have never seen another young woman with breast cancer. . . to walk into a room with close to a thousand other faces just like yours is awe-inspiring!! Miguel Perez runs the Fund - Miguel is going to have be the subject on an entire post!! - and is a good friend to my family as well as the YSC.

Friday, October 10th, YSC Central Ohio will be holding their annual fundraiser - In Living Pink and tickets are still available. This fun event will raise money for valuable programs and services in the Central Ohio area for young women with breast cancer. Brian and me are major sponsors and several family members will be attending.The week of October 20th, I will be appearing on Daytime Columbus, hosted by Gail Hogan, to discuss breast cancer in young women. Details are still being finalized. And on October 29th I will be traveling to Meigs County to talk about intimacy after breast cancer to a group of fellow survivors - I am always so thankful for the opportunity to connect to my sisters!So far that is it but I am sure there will be more! I didn't even talk about the movie, Living Proof, appearing on Lifetime television on October 18th, which will show the discovery and initial testing of the powerful drug Herceptin. I am thinking of trying to organize a party to watch it . . .
