The new voice of VOICES
Hey everyone,

Don't panic! This is still VOICES of the American Cancer Society Great Lakes Division, Inc. You have received the right e-mail in your inbox, and you're in for a treat!

The December 2008/January 2009 issue of VOICES seemed the most fitting for change. Many of us will be making New Year’s resolutions, and this year our resolution here at VOICES is to make sure that your voice is heard!

I’m Suban Nur-Cooley, often referred to as “the face behind VOICES.” I’m here to share the VOICES of the Great Lakes Division, so if you know someone with a great story, or a voice that has yet to be heard, please feel free to contact me.

In this issue, you will hear the VOICES of a Great Lakes researcher, volunteer, and cancer survivor who are all working alongside the American Cancer Society to win this fight against cancer.

We’ll also give you the opportunity to make a direct impact on cancer by reducing your own cancer risks through the Great American Health Check Challenge.

You can also take our quiz to see if you know what steps to take to reduce your cancer risks. Sometimes, it's as easy as this video.

So what are you waiting for! Delve in and get to know just a few of the many VOICES in the Great Lakes Division who are saving lives and fulfilling their own. Oh, and be sure to check out our lemon cake with brandied blueberry sauce recipe...it's one you'll need to help you beat the post-holiday blues.

Happy holidays!
