The Lamp, the student newspaper, is working on a story about breast cancer and Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is October. We are seeking help for the story in a few ways:

• The Lamp is also looking for people affected by breast cancer, whether family, friends or yourself. We’d like to know about your experiences. (We’d very much appreciate having a student, if you know one who might be willing to talk to us.)
