This is WHY the constant reminders, especially this time of year, for routine screenings -- because it works! Jenna Fischer, everyone's own Pam from The Office, reacted to a reminder while scrolling and detected her breast cancer early. And she had an improved outcome because it was caught so early with a routine screening. https://youtu.be/RXMsYnNlFLo

“The Office” star Jenna Fischer sits down with TODAY’s Hoda Kotb to open up about her breast cancer journey, how she shared the news with her children, conti...

This is my first year as a staff person working on the American Cancer Society C2C Relay Run, and so, of course, I signed up to help raise money. Funds raised through the C2C Relay Run are unrestricted, which means they can help cancer patients in a variety of ways from research to rides to treatment.

Please consider helping me make a good impression by raising some money to fight cancer in my first year with the event. http://main.acsevents.org/goto/LeighAnneC2C

Every 15 seconds, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with cancer... and may need to travel far from home to obtain lifesaving treatment.

Participants in the 2024 Pan Ohio Hope Ride dedicate and donate their time, energy, and influence to raise awareness and money to help patients staying at the Cleveland Hope Lodge during treatment. BUT, you don’t have to be a cyclist to take part in the fight to end cancer as we know it, for everyone!

Join us in giving HOPE this by donating $15 or more to the American Cancer Society Pan Ohio Hope Ride.

Visit main.acsevents.org/goto/leighanned to contribute today!

Proceeds from the 2024 POHR help provide cancer patients and their caregivers with free accommodations at the Cleveland Hope Lodge, Ohio’s only Hope Lodge, located within a few miles of world-renowned cancer treatment centers.

While food insecurity is a battle many Americans face year round, we often think of their needs most during the holiday season when celebrating the various holidays with our personal levels of abundance. With so many are thinking of donating to ensure neighbors in need have holiday meal basics, you might take the road less traveled by giving items less frequently contributed that not only feed the body but the soul.

Things like spices, oils, and vinegar can add flavor to food stuff donated by corporations in bulk or purchased with donated dollars. Toiletries, baby care, and personal hygiene products are always needed by far less donated (companies donate bulk foods as expiration dates draw near, but these products don't spoil so they're less likely to be gifted in bulk). And think outside the box and off your personal the holiday feasting menu, by adding a greater variety of shelf stable fruits, vegetables, and other food stuffs.

And remember to add in some treats. While hunger requires nutritional fuel for sustenance, man does not live by bread alone...

Some items are in high demand at the food bank and you may not realize it. Socks, feminine products, baby toiletries, and soup packets are among several items.

Our neighbor's outdoor, near-feral kitty, Chestnut, likes to "run away from home" and visit us from time to time. Recently, he did so just as they were traveling to Israel for a week, so we acted as his caregiver in their absence and built quite a trusting relationship with him.

By the time they travel home, I was able to not only pet him but pick him up. Something only the mother in the family can do. I was able to hand-deliver him to her arms upon her return.
