Along with the month of October being National Physical Therapy month, this month also brings support and awareness to those battling, those who have survived, and those who have lost their battle to breast cancer. As future health professionals, we want to continue the movement and help raise money for this ever-growing fight to find a cure for breast cancer.

During the month of October, USM DPT students will be collecting donations through the style of the card pictured above. If you are able and willing, select a donation amount on the board, or any amount you would like to donate, and send it to the Venmo: . All proceeds raised from this fundraiser will benefit the foundation "Jill's HOPE."

Jill’s Hope was founded by Jill Heckman, her family and friends. Jill was diagnosed with Stage 3 Triple Negative breast cancer in her left breast and Stage 2 HER-2 positive breast cancer in her right breast in June 2014. Throughout her battle with cancer, she learned the power of a strong support system and a positive mindset. Jill experienced and loved multiple holistic therapies and started a community of people to support each other. She spent her days with a passion to help others who were fighting cancer and helping them LIVE better. She would say, “If I can help just one more person feel better, I’m going to do it!!”

Jill passed away on August 24th, 2017, but her legacy lives on. Our goal is to support others going through a cancer diagnosis of any type. This includes the fighter/survivor and their caregivers." To learn more about "Jill's HOPE", visit jillshope.org. Thank you for your support in our continued fight to find a cure for breast cancer!

Some students took a break from laboring over their textbooks to enjoy a KC Moarchs’ game this Labor Day weekend. USM DPT and OTD students and faculty/staff from the Health Science Division enjoyed a night at the ballpark together cheering on the KC Monarchs. Some students even joined in the fun of the mid-inning activities.
