It's been awhile since I've written, but I've found myself with some down time on set so I figured I'd reach out and say hello. London's been wonderful and I'm having such a blast working here/ figuring my way about town. I feel lucky to be in the company of such a quality crew and cast. It certainly takes some of the edge off of being so far away from home and loved ones. Hard to believe that we're nearing the end of the finish line already!
Taking a step aside from all of that, I wanted to let you all know that I've recently teamed up with the folks at GlaxoSmithKline and the Gynecologic Cancer Foundation (http://www.thegcf.org/) in an ongoing effort to educate women about cervical cancer and what we can do to help protect ourselves.
Much like some of you, I've been thinking a lot more about my future and the possibility of being a mother one day. I have to say, I was rather taken aback to hear that cervical cancer, and even cervical pre-cancers, can have an impact on a woman's ability to have a child. It's also pretty startling to realize that in the U.S., cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women in their 20s and 30s! As young women, it’s so important for us to talk to our doctors about protecting our cervical health, through things like getting pap tests and getting vaccinated against cervical cancer. I know I want to stay healthy for whatever the future may bring!
I'm really looking forward to being a part of this project and
continuing to educate myself so that I can share more info with all of
you.
Stay tuned for updates on this front......
Hope this finds you well and happy weekend....
xoxo,
mm
