I've been working on drafting two articles for the Coastal Carolina Breast Center. While researching information to write the article I was saddened by the number of people that are affected by cancer each year.

I hope I don't bore you with statistics but it helps to understand the full impact of this disease. In 2010 it was estimated that there were 23,240 new cases of cancer in South Carolina and 1,529,560 new cases in the U.S.

The 2011 American Cancer Society Relay For Life at Coastal Carolina University campus will be held Friday, April 8th at the CCU Track. This is an opportunity to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.

There are currently 745 participants and $65,376.68 has been raised. Come out and support a great cause!

Until Next Time,

Karen
