young people and cancer awareness

Hi breast cancer friends :)

My good friend Merylee (Silly Sam) and myself  were just on channel 9 news in Melbourne about raising awareness about breast cancer that effects young people.

I am so proud of how they edited the story as we had a message to convey to all young people out there to check there breasts and to take notice of any changes.

I am also so pleased to have met the wonderful Merylee on my journey and on this website! . She has a special place in my heart and even though she has a different breast cancer type than me having her support and laughter makes my journey that extra special.

    Hi Joanne,

    I was very excited to see both you and Merylee on Channel 9 News (Merylee came into the office a few months back) and I was just as excited to see BCNA's website displayed!

    It was a great story and you both did a great job getting the message out to young women.

    Good luck with your journey and it's fantastic to hear both you and Silly Sam (Merylee) contunue to support each other off-line.
