Surviving to Share An estimated 203,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. We are concerned about your health, which is why we want to stress the importance of annual exams and monthly breast selfexams. Education is the key — the more women that are aware of their options, the more lives will be saved. Breast cancer survivors in Northwest Georgia are invited to share their courageous stories with the community in an exciting contest that will deem three lucky winners and many local celebrities. Send in your story (when you were diagnosed, your treatment timeline, your support system, how you feel today, advice to others) in a story not to exceed three typed written, double spaced pages. Please enclose a photo of you and your family. Send your story, photo and the attached application form to: Surviving to Share Redmond Regional Medical Center P.O. Box 107001 Rome, GA 30162
