Hundreds of Hardin County residents will participate in the Cancer Society Relay For Life of Hardin County from 6 p.m.-12 p.m. July 24-25 at the Hardin County Fairgrounds. This will be the 10th anniversary of the Relay For Life of Hardin County.
The American Cancer Society has been partnered with Not By Choice in downtown Kenton for several years to help local cancer patients. Through Not By Choice, local cancer patients can utilize American Cancer Society programs and services. With the help of donations from events like Relay For Life, the American Cancer Society is able to provide free wigs to patients, which can be found at Not By Choice. Two local cosmetologists facilitate the Look Good Feel Better session which is held at Not By Choice.
Like all of the American Cancer Society’s programs and services, Look Good Feel Better is a free program that women currently going through chemo and radiation can attend to receive tips on how to deal with the appearance related side effects of cancer treatment. Women who take advantage of this great program receive a make-up kit valued at over $200. Look Good Feel Better sessions are held periodically at Not By Choice. Contact Not By Choice, or call 800.227.2345 24 hours a day for the next session.
