October is the month that a lot of us resent. This is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and we all have relatives or  know of someone who has had to battle some form of cancer in their lives. So when I have to talk about someone who is close to the family, it really bothers me a little more than others.

This Saturday, Helen Daniels' Elite Dance Line will be presenting their 5K Awareness month for Devin Guy, who has Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. While this is a pretty rare case, she is currently going through treatments now, but needs all of the support from the community this weekend.

The 5K walk and run will be held this Saturday, October 22nd, beginning at 8am and going until noon at Prien Lake Park. You can purchase tickets to become a part of this major event by clicking here to register by making a donation. All of the proceeds raised will go towards medical bills for Devin. One thing I know about this young lady is that she is a trooper, a fighter, and has a strong spirit. As the slogan goes, cancer has messed with the wrong girl. I highly recommend everyone find out their status. If you are a woman, you should be checked regularly, and fellas: don't think that this might not effect you.

Hodgkin's Lymphoma Survivor:

We have to take care of ourselves, and although there are no definite cures for any form of cancer, we have to continue making contributions and doing our part so that our loved ones can know that we care. Tune in this afternoon, as we will be talking about the event and more for this Saturday.
