Breast Cancer Brunch is Saturday

Help for Hope and Healing (HHH), Jamestown’s Cancer Support Network, along with the Zonta Club of Jamestown, is hosting the fourth annual Breast Cancer Brunch titled “Courageous Women Celebrating Breast Cancer Survival.” The brunch will be at 10 a.m. Saturday at Trinity Lutheran Church in Jamestown. Anyone who has had breast cancer in the past or is currently being treated for breast cancer is considered a survivor. All current and former breast cancer patients, their friends, family members and caregivers, men and women, are welcome and encouraged to attend.

According to the American Cancer Society, one in eight women will develop breast cancer. In 2012, more than 288,000 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed. Many types of breast cancer are highly treatable; early detection and treatment are the key to surviving this disease.

Special guest speaker will be Meg Spielman Peldo, author of “No Lumps, Thank You: A Bra Anthology.” This book was written to raise awareness and money for breast cancer charities.

The brunch is free of charge, but tickets are required. Tickets are available at White Drug North (formerly Walz Pharmacy), or by calling Eileen at 251-1280 (leave a message) or emailing to drlisko@ csi

cable. net.

HHH is a branch of the Jamestown Area Grief Support Team that deals with meeting the practical needs of cancer patients and their families. For more information, visit its website at www.jamestowncancer
