Chelsea has been volunteering for the Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope from the beginning of the organization in 2011. When asked why she volunteers Chelsea replied, "I volunteer for the Jaymie Jamison Foundation for Hope not only because I knew Jaymie, but because it's an opportunity to be a vessel of information to others. Gynecological cancers are still deemed unmentionable because the word 'vagina' is still stigmatized in our society. The Foundation has given me the opportunity to let others know that is okay to talk about gynecological matters. Speaking and knowing about these cancers create knowledge in others, and thus encourage prevention and awareness. That is why Panties Across the Bridge is my favorite event. What better way to let the public know and realize that gynecological cancers are still cancers. They effect people in the same way any other cancers do. PATB gives everyone involved with the Foundation the opportunity to create an awareness in someone, which may in turn save someone's life..and that's all that matters."
Thanks Chelsea for all that you do for our organization!
