Mothers’ Day
One way we pay tribute to our heroes is by naming holidays in their honor. And no group is more deserving of such recognition than our mothers.
Raising a child is the greatest and most important challenge any of us will ever face, and Mothers’ Day offers an opportunity to remember just that.
My mother, more than anyone else, taught me to pursue my dreams, and helped me to achieve them. For that I am forever grateful.
She also taught me the importance of frequent cancer screenings and self-examination.
When she was 45 years old, my mom developed a lump in her breast. Fortunately, the cancer was non-invasive, meaning she found it before it spread.
My mother’s cancer was treatable because it was detected early. This year, she celebrates her 54th Mothers’ Day.
Today, I emphasize the importance of early detection through frequent screenings and self-examination. It saved my mother’s life, and it could save yours.
