TRICIA'S TIDBITS

We kick off our annual Pink Ribbon Week this morning! Check out kisselpaso.com for the locations where you can pick up important information about breast health this week. You can get a pink ribbon for your lapel, or a pink antennae topper for your car, as well as pick up some Yoplait yogurt! They have the pink tops on them in commemoration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. When they are turned in, Komen for the Cure gets a donation from the fine folks at Yoplait!

Breast cancer isn't a comfortable subject to talk about, but not talking could have deadly consequences. Every woman should learn how to do a monthly self-examination so she knows her breasts, that way, if there is a change, she can catch it and bring it to the attention of her doctor. Breast cancer may not be preventable, but it can be caught in it's early stages and that gives you a fighting chance to beat it.

Some women think that because breast cancer has never happened in her family, they don't have to worry. The problem with that logic, however, is that there will be a first time in every family. Breast cancer doesn't discriminate - it will strike rich and poor women, it will strike women with a history of breast cancer in their families, it will strike women with NO history of breast cancer in their family. The only way to fight it is to be informed! The way to be informed is to stop by any of the locations around town this week where KISS FM and Komen for the Cure will be.

We know our listeners come through for us with our Easter Basket Drive, the Stuff the Bus School Supply Drive, even with bicycles for the kids at the Child Crisis Center. You guys rock! We know we can always count on you to help out, so we want to make sure we help our listeners out with this FREE information.

It's important, it's your life. Let's help each other stay healthy!
