Such an important study. Hoping some of you can take part in this opportunity.

Today I’m excited to share the post below announcing our VOICES of Black Women cohort study, for which ACS is the FIRST to conduct a cohort study focussed on the recruitment of 100,000 Black women, and the ONLY to have a study of this size focussed on the lived experience of Black women and the linkage to cancer outcomes. Everyone can play a role in this and here is how 🗣️ - If you are a Black woman between the ages of 25-55, please consider learning more about and enrolling in the VOICES of Black Women cohort study. - If you are an employer, consider sharing this opportunity with your employee resource groups as every ERG can participate through amplification or eligible participation. (Message me for details on a lunch and learn for your networks and I will connect you to Mary Tillman-Young) - If you aren’t eligible for the study, you can still help us in amplifying this message in your networks and community. Please share. Cancer impacts everyone, but it doesn’t impact everyone equally... #healthequity #DEI #Inclusion #BlackWomen #Diversity

Sarcoma Awareness Month is celebrated in July to raise awareness of sarcoma. The theme for Sarcoma Awareness month is “Raising Awareness to Create Survivors”. This month is the perfect opportunity to pay tribute to those who have been impacted by sarcoma and to advocate for the needs of those who live with sarcoma each and every day. Wear Yellow Day is held on July 12th to encourage everyone to wear yellow to show support for sarcoma patients and their families. On this day, the whole family, even pets, can don their yellow for sarcoma awareness. If you dress up, make sure to share photos using the hashtag #WearYellowDay. July 26th is when you Light Up for Sarcoma, by illuminating various monuments and buildings. Sarcoma is a type of cancer that forms in the body’s tissues that connect, surround, or support other structures, with more than 70 varieties. This cancer can negatively impact vessels, blood, fat, muscle, the lining of the joints, and tendons. When fighting this cancer, you will be faced with many life-changing decisions, and we are here to support you in this journey. #SarcomaAwarenessMonth #WearYellowDay #FightingTheBattle #Doctor’sChoiceCaresAboutSarcoma

Black women are 8% less likely to be diagnosed with cancer than white women but 12% more likely to die if diagnosed. Decades of underrepresentation in clinical research, means less effective interventions. Let’s fix that. Today, The American Cancer Society took an important step forward towards improving outcomes and reducing disparities. As a board member with ACS, I ask you to please take the time to learn more and check your eligibility at https://voices.cancer.org.

Your voice can help future generations.

The Living Blue Apparel team is excited to introduce Blue Cancer Connect as our newest resource.   This past year, two family members of our Living Blue Apparel team were diagnosed with cancer. It is a diagnosis no one wants to get. Cancer is also a fight that no one should have to face alone. Officers know what it means to be part of a tribe. Unfortunately, some experience a loss of support when no longer able to serve in the same capacity due to their diagnosis. A cancer diagnosis often creates a financial burden on both the officer and their family and greatly affects the mental health of all involved.   The mission of Blue Cancer Connect is to show empathy, provide encouragement, and offer support following a life-altering diagnosis of cancer. They do this by bringing education, awareness, and opportunities for early detection. Through the relationships they have established with leading cancer hospitals, they offer direction for treatment options and second opinions. Blue Cancer Connect also offers officer-to-officer peer support and financial assistance to officers and their families in need.   After the loss of her husband, Mitch Speed, in 2018, Vickie Speed, CEO and founder of Blue Cancer Connect, was determined to help officers and their families better navigate their cancer journeys. Mitch, who was a Los Angeles County Sheriff, lives on in the countless lives improved because of the work Blue Cancer Connect is doing.   Visit livingblueapparel.com for more information and a full list of resources.   We are stronger together, and like Blue Cancer Connect states, “In this family, no one fights alone!”   #livingblue #livingblueapparel #police #cancer #mentalhealth #resilience
