My Advocacy project was about passing a bill for early detection for cancer month as well to rebuttal against the new health care plan for less and later check ups for cancer. The bill is for earlier detection for all cancers as well as dedicating and entire month to it. The new health care plan wanting to be opposed is for women to not get a mammogram for breast cancer until age 50, its at age 40 right now and to only get checked every two years compared to every year. Cancer is very serious and many of us probably have been affected by someone who has had cancer or maybe have dealt with it yourself. So to be positive I decided to do my activity about something to help cancer patients!! :) The activity is about Relay For Life!
Activity: Relay For Life
Visit this webpage: http://www.relayforlife.org/relay/whatisrelay#whatisrelay
1. Watch the video on relay for life on webpage
2. Read what is relay for life, why we relay and history
3. After watching and reading, tell me know 3 things you learned. Also try to find out how and where you could get involved with one either here in duluth or back home
4. Upload a picture of Relay for Life
I hope after this activity you all find something you didn't know before, and getting more involved with organizations to fight cancer. :)
