You might notice that today's edition of the Austin American Statesman is a
different color. The first 24-pages of the paper are pink. It was published
that way to call attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Testimonials are
included in the paper that give advice to women who are battling the disease.
Last month, the M-D Anderson Cancer Center reported that 75-percent of women
diagnosed with cancer now live at least 10 years after detection. Six years ago
that rate was 25-percent. A portion of the proceeds from today's edition of the
paper will go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
