WOMEN ON THE MOVE IN BULLITT COUNTY: Think Pink Event 2014

Last night was the 3rd Annual Think Pink an Evening to Education & Celebrate. What a wonderful view of all the ladies and men in pink. This was sponsored by Bullitt County Health Department, Kentucky Cancer Program, Bullitt County Breast Cancer Support Group and Bullitt County Cooperative Extension Service .
We had the honor of hearing from each of them what services they provide for Bullitt County. Kelsey Stark with WHAS 11 was our MC.
I was asked to share my journey with Breast Cancer.I was diagnosed in April 2000. So went through my journey with the people which was emotional for me while I was preparing to speak. I am a 14 year survivor and so glad to be alive and well.I know through the work of my doctors, family , friends, and of course my faith I made it through.
Since there was no support group in Bullitt County I talked with American Cancer Society how to go about starting one in the County. The First Baptist Church of Mt. Washington was a support by giving us a room to meet in monthly. I had help also from Ruth Chowning Extension Service (club member) and Cynthia Brown with the Health Dept. by giving me guidance in how to form a group and to help with speakers etc. I am very thankful for these who helped us get started.
Our Breast Cancer Support Group meets each month on the 4th Tuesday at 7pm-8:30pm. We meet in the CLC building in the Craft room. We do not meet in November or December due to Holidays being in the same week we meet. So if you know of anyone that needs or wants to come to our group please be sure to tell them about us.
I did not know until last night that one our own Barbara Crume is a 40+ year survivor. What a great example for all of us to know someone that has been a survivor that long. Gives us all HOPE.
