Mayor Bliss Proclaims ‘Let’s Beat Breast Cancer Day’
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Registered Nurse Sheri Orlekoski will lead ‘Let’s Beat Breast Cancer’ rallies in Grand Rapids on Wednesday, Sept. 18th, and Sunday, Sept. 22nd.
The message of the free events is simple: Eating a plant-based diet and incorporating other lifestyle changes can be powerful preventive medicine for breast cancer.
In acknowledgement of the rallies, Grand Rapids Mayor Rosalyn Bliss declared Sept. 22, 2024, “Let’s Beat Breast Cancer Day.” In the proclamation, Bliss calls upon Grand Rapids residents to “recognize this important day”, and encourages “all to join in the ‘Let’s Beat Breast Cancer’ Campaign”
