Breast Cancer Documentary

I am making a video documentary about breast cancer and its effects on a local scale in hopes to shed light on early detection. I am calling out to anyone who can help me with this project. Here is what I need:

1) Anyone diagnosed with breast cancer and is willing to share their story with me on video. I'll also be doing a photo portrait of each person (for the video).

2)Contacts: I need people who know about breast cancer, who know facts & figures about how many cases in Morehead/Rowan/etc., who are willing to talk about early detection, etc.

If you know of someone I should talk to, please contact me.
Thank you for your help with this project!

Let me tell you a little more about myself.

My cousin died last month after a two year battle with cancer (started as colon cancer) and she was a humanitarian who helped many people in her lifetime. I have been inspired by my cousin and I want to do something to help. I want to to put faces and personal stories together with the facts and numbers. I want to help other women find it sooner. I want to inform people about breast cancer. This isn't some big budget film, it is just a record of people's life and stories in dealing with breast cancer and how early detection can help save the lives of other women.

My background is in graphic design, videography, and I currently have a photography studio here in Morehead. I want to use these gifts to create a video that will educate the community, honor the survivors, and push the urgency of early detection. If you think this is something you'd be interested in doing, please let me know. I want to interview people in their "own space". Somewhere you are comfortable, somewhere that is personal to you (i.e., desk at work, home, etc). Basically, I will want to hear your story with breast cancer and how early detection helps. I'd also like to do a quick portrait in my studio to compliment the documentary in which you'll receive a free 5x7 print for participating.

Feel free to forward this information to anyone who might be interested. Please pass along any ideas you may have this project as well :)
You may reach me at the studio 606-784-2626 or my cell 606-462-0585 if you want to talk about the project or schedule a time for your interview.
