SUMMARY: The Laurel Housing Authority hosted its third annual Breast Cancer Awareness Parade. The parade made its way around Brown Circle Homes, with residents lining the streets for candy and other knick-knacks. Organizations like the Salvation Army and Family Health Center provided resources on prevention and care after diagnosis. Breast cancer survivor, Mary Mclauren, used her story to encourage others to get screened. She has been a cancer survivor twice and credits her family’s faith for helping her through the process, even when the cancer almost returned a third time.

Residents were educated on prevention and caring for themselves after diagnosis. Survivors said it’s better to know now than wait until later.
