The Studentship Awards Program gives young researchers the chance to take their learning from the lecture hall to the laboratory while fostering an interest in breast cancer research. Alyssa will spend the summer working in the laboratory of Doctor Stephen Westcott.
I met Alyssa on the set of Live at Five where we were interviewed by Starr Dobson. It was Alyssa's first television interview and she was a pro. I also met Alyssa's mother and it was such a pleasure to speak with mother and daughter. They have been through so much together - like many of us cancer has touched their lives.
This photo is compliments of Paul Darrow - a professional photographer who was very gracious in sharing this photo with us. The photo (or one similar) will be in the Halifax Herald this Saturday June 11th along with an article about the event.
I will write more about OceanArt and their contribution to funds raised that have allowed this Studentship Award to be possible in the first place - I am waiting for pictures to go with that story.
Have a good week everyone and thanks for being in touch.
Love
Carol Ann
