Erica Johnston | Houston Education Ambassador, Early Detection, Prevention and Options re Cancer Challenges For Women, Wednesday Program
Erica has experienced the challenges of breast cancer and other cancer challenges. Her objective is to share information that will assist women in knowing more about what they can do to minimize cancer risks and what to do when faced with cancer. She has become active with an organization called Bright Pink University that is dedicated to help women learn more about early detection, prevention and available options.“I’m excited for the opportunity to share my story, encourage other women to know their bodies and be aware of any changes,” Erica said. “I feel like my husband and I have had the chance to make connections within the community so this is my chance to bring this awareness to others. I think it could be very powerful for this area.”
This is a program that you should bring your wife and others in the community that would benefit from this educational program.
