October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

I was inspired by the tv show 'Intimate portraits of Ann Curry'.

Ann Curry is a news anchor and personality at NBC, and her sister, Jean was diagnosed with breast cancer. This made Ann, who initially would never believe in using her tv power to go all out in researching about breast cancer. Introducing herself as Ann Curry but doing it for personal reasons in her research, she was able to find out about the best medicine and options for her sister Jean. Because of her fame, Ann Curry is able to promote the awareness and the fight against breast cancer. Of half Japanese origin, she is very much an all-American girl. Her rise to be a cutting edge news correspondence and anchor is truly an inspiring one.

You can find her name in Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Curry
