Because October is Cancer Awareness Month, I just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed reading the "Faces of Cancer" stories written by Andy Perdue.
Thank you for finding such inspirational and realistic stories from citizens in our community, including Andy himself.
As cancer has recently affected my family, I have become an advocate for cancer awareness and would encourage everyone to become involved in events like the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. Well done, Andy!
Faces of Cancer: Support system key in battle
Faces of Cancer: Support system key in battle
KENNEWICK — Cancer is a battle with many fronts -- and treatment is just one of them.
People living with cancer, whether it's their own diagnosis or the diagnosis of a loved one, undergo a significant life change, and they also must battle the stress, the emotions, the side effects of treatment, the financial strains, the changes in relationships and the adjustments to their lifestyles.
All of that takes a toll, which is why health care professionals and advocates have created a network of support systems to help those experiencing cancer with all facets of the battle -- including what comes after the fight is over.

Letter Best: Student's perspective 9-11-11
I am a high school senior and vice president of Kamiakin High School's chapter of National Honor Society. NHS is a club that aims to create a better community through service projects while maintaining focus on the four pillars of our club: citizenship, leadership, academics, and character.
In the past, Kamiakin's NHS members have helped with projects such as Relay for Life and have worked to raise money for the Tri-City Cancer Center during Pink Week. However, because of the school board's new policies, NHS is no longer able to function in any of the Kennewick schools, just because our school board does not want to allow a gay-straight alliance to form at our schools.
The school board doesn't seem to realize by making these new policies they are not only hurting students who support gay-straight alliances, but existing clubs like NHS which aim to better our community.
Pink Week Carnival planned at Southridge
Pink Week Carnival planned at Southridge
Leadership students at Southridge High School will hold a community carnival from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesday on its campus.
The event is part of Pink Week efforts by Kennewick high schools to raise money and awareness for the Tri-Cities Cancer Center. The goal is for families and students to visit and play games together. Games cost 50 cents each to enter. All proceeds will be donated to the cancer center.
Teen events include balloon darts, basketball shot, baseball throw, beat the dealer, bowling, cake walk, football throw, henna tattoos, hole-in-one golf, obstacle course, penny toss, pie in the face, ring toss for pop and soccer kick.
