Gee-Gees Strike Out Breast Cancer
from Scott Searle
On Friday September 28th at 7:30 PM the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees softball team is making a pitch to strike out Breast Cancer.
The team has dedicated their game to raising awareness of the fatal disease that afflicts 22,300 Canadian women every year. 1 in 9 women in Canada will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer in their lifetime and 1 in 27 will die from this disease.
Women who are physically active, maintain a healthy diet, and have a healthy body weight are less likely to be afflicted with this disease. The athletes from the Gee-Gees are hoping to raise awareness of these facts and help minor softball athletes in Ottawa reduce the risk.
The team will wear special pink uniforms for the game on Friday night and will be passing out information packages on self-examinations and early detection for their fans. We will also have donor cards on hand for those interested in contributing financially.
The game is scheduled for 7:30 on Friday night at the RA Center on Riverside Drive.
Come out and support the fight against Breast Cancer!
Admission is free.
