Friday, October 8th I was asked to emcee NH's first BJ's Pink Picnic hosted at the Hooksett, N.H. BJs location. Through the month of October BJs Pink Picnics are happening all over the U.S! It was an honor to host the first one in the granite state. Pictured with me is Dr. Roshani Patel and Dr. Gerald Gehr from the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris Cotton Cancer Center in Manchester, NH which is only 1 of 40 National Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Centers nationwide. Dr. Gehr mentioned how many males he works with who are in treatment for breast cancer in N.H., and Dr. Patel blew my mind when she said the latest research this year shows that if a person spends a minimum of two hours of aerobic exercise per week then your risk of getting breast cancer is lessened by 50%. The Norris Cotton Cancer Center is working closely with Exercise Physiologists on developing exercise programs soon to be infiltrated into other hospitals, and health care centers. Take time to find two hours a week, to learn your family history, and also to schedule your yearly mammogram. It could save your life.
