Good evening, welcome. And Mother Shaw. Come on. Proclamation, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Whereas October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and whereas National Breast Cancer Awareness Month eCates women about early breast cancer detection, diagnosis, and treatment. And whereas National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is dedicated to increasing public knowledge about the importance of early detection of breast cancer with national public service organizations, professional organizations, and government agencies who work together to ensure that the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month message is heard by thousands of women and their families. And whereas October 18, 2024 is National Mammography Day. And on this day or throughout the month, women are encouraged to make a mammography appointment. And whereas mammograms are the best method to detect breast cancer early when easier to treat. And whereas breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, except for skin cancers. And whereas the chance of developing invasive breast cancer at some time in a woman's life is about one and eight. Whereas death rates from breath breast cancer have been declining, and this change is believed to be due to the result of early detection through screening, increased awareness, and improved treatment. And whereas NBCAM recognizes that although many great strides have been made in breast cancer awareness and treatment, there remains much to be accomplished. Therefore, I Wayne Messon, mayor of the city of Myanmar, and on behalf of Commissioner Colburn and the City Commission do hereby proclaim the month of October 2024 as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and October 18th as National Mammography Day in the City of Myanmar. Commissioner Colburn. Thank you. First, I want to say thank you so much to Major Shaw and her grandmother who is here today to receive the proclamation. Major T Shaw Williams is a proud Miramar employee and an even prouder breast cancer survivor who is currently in remission.

Before Major Shaw diagnosis of stage three breast cancer in her left breast. Her grandmother, Mrs. Shaw, was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer in her left breast. What makes their journey more unique is that they shared the same doctor, oncologist, Dr. Adriana Millie Lowe Narain, a breast cancer medical oncology at Memorial Cancer Institute. Major Shaw endured insureds, she makes it all to all her appointments so that her doctor would not tell her grandmother on her. And but to go through it with your grandmother.
