The John T. Myers pedestrian bridge is now glowing in pink. Structures all over the world are lit each year in observance of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The lights on the pedestrian bridge over the Wabash River are meant to be a symbol to promote awareness, but also as a means to honor those from our own community who are breast cancer survivors and to remember those who have died from breast cancer.
Thank you to the many people who braved the cold weather Tuesday night for the bridge ceremony. Thank you to the survivors, Deb Mears and Adrienne Harlow, for being willing to share their stories. Thanks also to the young, talented girls called the StarCity dancers who performed for the crowd.
The YWCA Women's Breast Cancer program helps many women in our community who do not have insurance to cover routine exams and mammograms. For more information go to the YWCA's website: http://www.ywca.org/site/pp.asp?c=brJJKUNLG&b=61662
