More than 225 march to raise awareness of breast cancer " . . . as I look out amongst 225 people trying to make a difference, I know that in the words of the MasterCard commercials, this is 'priceless.'" - DEAN ANGELIA BRYANT Five photos accompany this story By Travis Smith Special ColumbiaMagazine.com story "We can make a difference today." Those words by Peggy Lawson of the American Cancer Society summed up the purpose of Adair County's Second Annual Breast Cancer Awareness March, held Thursday, October 4, 2007. More than 225 people participated in the march, which started at the Lindsey Wilson College Catherine Wilson Center and ended at the Columbia Downtown Square, where they heard from several activists and survivors. ination, treatment, advocacy and service. They also decried cuts in funding by the federal government, which they said will impede further research into the disease. Gloria Sams, Lake Cumberland Area cancer control specialist, was one of several local survivors who stressed the importance of early detection. "Early detection can save the greatest proportion of lives," Sams said. "Almost 90 percent of people who are diagnosed early on survive." Just before the program drew to a close with the release of pink prayer balloons, survivor Angelia Bryant talked about the impact of the breast cancer phenomenon. "There are too many costs from breast cancer," said Bryant, who is associate dean of the Lindsey Wilson School of Professional Counseling. "It's not the financial costs I'm talking about, it's not the money, it's the emotional and physical costs. But as I look out amongst 225 people trying to make a difference, I know that in the words of the MasterCard commercials, this is 'priceless.'" Travis Smith is Staff Writer for lindsey.edu.
