Players in the Northbrook Girls Softball Association will be sporting pink all week long as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Week
Players in the Northbrook Girls Softball Association are learning how to catch, hit, throw and slide--and just as importantly, how to give back to the community. For the first time, the league is dedicating this week (May 9-14) to raising awareness of breast cancer.

And she’d never met anyone with colorectal cancer until she began coming to the center, which offers free support services to patients with cancer and their families. “When a person is diagnosed with cancer, its almost like being hit in the face with a two-by-four,” she …
