September was Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. In order to raise awareness about ovarian cancer and its silent symptoms, the SC Ovarian Cancer Foundation held an event on the statehouse steps the last week of September. Will was asked to give a brief talk about the latest news in diagnosing, treating and preventing ovarian cancer. He did a great job!
Then, several cancer survivors joined the emcee on the steps and unfolded tissue thin paper from which the butterflies took flight. About 500 butterflies had been 'purchased' with donations and were released into a breezy late afternoon. It was really amazing and brought many a tear to everyone's eyes!
Afterwards, Will was interviewed by several local news stations - I think this was the University of South Carolina news interviewing him.
