Buddy Check 9 is 14-years old

Dear Buddies,

Buddy Check 9 turns 14-years old in October. It seems just like yesterday that 9 News began encouraging women & men to take charge of their own health. My thanks to the scores of Buddies and their families who have allowed me to share their stories of detection, treatment, recovery, even loss of a loved one over all these years. To mark this month, on 9 News @ 9 a-m, I will have special guests joining me to discuss all facets of breast cancer awareness & prevention.

On Monday, October first, Bo Aldige, president & founder of the Prevent Cancer Foundation, formerly the Cancer Research & Prevention Foundation, kicked off breast cancer awareness month on 9 News NOW @ 9 a-m. Bo & PCF were with Buddy Check 9 from the very beginning as our research partner. Prevent Cancer Foundation also makes possible, in part, the Buddy Check 9 packets.

On October 2 on 9 News NOW at 9 a-m, Marc Heyison, co-founder of Men Against Breast Cancer discussed strategies for men supporting the women they love who are battling breast cancer. To see Marc's interview click here

Take care,
Andrea Roane
