22nd Annual Komen Plano Race for the Cure on Saturday, June 9th

Make sure you come out and support breast cancer education and research on June 9th on The HP Campus on Legacy. Not only can you learn more about breast cancer warning signs and advancements in treatments but you can also get your cardio on (a key way to live a healthy lifestyle). Look for me and my fellow pageant sister with our crowns on walking for a great cause!


Do you know all of the warning signs for breast cancer? (Hint: it's not just about lumps!)
1. Lump in the breast or underarm
2. Swelling, warmth, redness or darkening of the breast
3. Change in size or shape of the breast
4. Dimpling or puckering of the skin
5. Itchy, scaly sore or rash on nipple
6. Pulling of your nipple or other parts of the breast
7. Nipple discharge that starts suddenly
8. New pain in one spot that does not go away

Now you know the warning signs and can do self detection at home. If you have any of these signs, please, don't hesitate go see your doctor right away. The earlier it's detected; the higher survivor rate! So check often.
