Giving Hope. Making a Difference. Defeating Breast Cancer.
Jenel Marie McGrath, guest speaker
This year an estimated 310,720 women and 2,800 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Chances are, you know at least one person who has been personally affected by breast cancer. But there is hope. When caught in its earliest, localized stages, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%. Advances in early detection and treatment methods have significantly increased breast cancer survival rates in recent years, and there are currently over 4 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.
ABOUT OUR GUEST SPEAKER
We invited Jenel Marie McGrath – president of the Board at Women Rock, a Sherman based non-profit dedicated to defeating breast cancer – to speak about their efforts in giving hope, making an impact in defeating breast cancer. Of her discourse she writes, “I expect to be informative, low key and delighted to extend my knowledge to all. Questions welcome.”
Thanksgiving today may have little connection with the Plymouth harvest festival 400 years ago, but it has a long history, nevertheless. Originally a regional observance in colonial New England, Thanksgiving began as a solemn affair.
