Cervical Cancer Awareness

I am thrilled today to share with you two important pieces of cervical cancer awareness.  First, a link to the national Roche website.  I have made a web of connections which all started with a friend of my husband's from high school who works locally at Roche.  Today my story went live on the national Roche website.  I am thrilled to be a voice for cervical cancer advocacy.  Please take a look here at my story (which would then link back to my blog).    I can't wait for the testimonial video I filmed here locally to be available for viewing.

Secondly, there is a very important video: Someone You Love:  An HPV Epidemic.  This video is currently available in digital format for $1 and is a must see.  Are you a woman?  Do you have a daughter?  Do you have a granddaughter, niece, cousin?  Do you have a son?  Are you a mother?  Are you a father?  Basically, are you a person?  If so I fully belive you should watch this video and inform yourself.

I'm available to answer any questions you might have if you take the time to watch the video.  Please comment here if you take the time to watch the video.  It is one and half hours but is worth every minute.  If you get emotional, be ready with the tissues!  It chronicles the stories of five fabulous woman and each individual battle with HPV and/or cervical cancer.  They come from a variety of backgrounds and you will be able to connect with at least one of them.  I have much more to tell about my upcoming surgery but that is another post all together.

    Erica is a 32 year old cervical cancer advocate who is out living cancer for the third time. When she isn’t advocating for cervical cancer and HPV awareness as a Cervivor Ambassador, she previously oversaw the STEM program at the school where she was an educator; she now helps coordinate the robotics program. Erica enjoys spending time with her husband and son in their Indianapolis neighborhood, as well as pursuing new and adventurous hobbies. She can most recently be found fawning over kayaks and daydreaming of returning to whitewater kayaking with First Descents, an organization for young adults impacted by cancer.
