Dear friends,

SPECIAL REPORT Ten years ago NewsCenter 16 followed five local women fighting breast cancer. Their stories won a national award and kept NewsCenter 16 at the front of breast cancer awareness efforts in our local community, efforts we continue today. More...

Breast cancer can strike any woman...your mother, your sister, your aunt, your best friend, your daughter, and yes, even you. NewsCenter 16 is committed to fighting the battle against cancer with information that can make a difference.

We care about you and your health. So we urge you to choose someone you love and become "buddies" in this important cause. It's called the "16 Buddy Check". On the 16th of every month, we will remind you to do your self breast check and remind you to remind your "buddy" to do the same. Visit your local Martin's Super Market to pick up the "16 Buddy Check" packet, or click here to receive one in the mail. Watch 16 Morning News and NewsCenter 16's First News on the 16th day of every month for more on the "16 Buddy Check" program. Visit the American Cancer Society's Breast Cancer Network for additional information and resources.

If you can't afford a mammogram, call American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345.
