Sadly, cancer is the second most common cause of death in the U.S.
To raise awareness about the importance of screenings and promote activities that reduce the risk of cancer, I joined my fellow legislators and paired my suit with my sneakers at the Statehouse.
Sponsored by the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches, the Suits and Sneakers challenge works to increase awareness and support for those affected by the disease.
This session, the Indiana House of Representatives took steps in fighting cancer in Indiana by unanimously voting in support of a proposal to reduce the number of Hoosier deaths resulting from cervical cancer.
Many of us have been personally impacted by cancer. Let’s come together to continue to fight this disease through awareness, prevention and treatment.
