12/7/07
Actress Felicity Huffman has been named an ambassador for a new breast
cancer awareness campaign.
The Desperate
Housewives star will appear in a U.S. TV advertisement called If You
Were My Sister, which aims to increase awareness among breast cancer
survivors about reducing the risk of recurrence.
The public service announcement was developed by the charity Women's
Cancer Programs Of The Entertainment Industry Foundation and
pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca.
Huffman says, "Unfortunately, breast cancer can return, and many
women lack vital information about how to reduce their risk of recurrence.
"That's why I am involved in this important campaign on behalf of
the Entertainment Industry Foundation. We have all had family and friends
who are touched by this disease, and I want to help educate women about
what they need to know, and can do, to reduce their risk."
