Hello Neighbors,
This October, I am thinking of all those impacted by breast cancer. Knowing the risk factors, detecting early, and getting treatment if needed can be life saving measures. I hope this month, you take some time to educate yourself, talk with loved ones, share resources, and support our friends and neighbors who are battling this disease. Click here to learn more from the National Breast Cancer Foundation and share information to keep yourself and loved ones healthy!
In service,
Edward Burroughs III
Prince George's County Council, District 8
