Town Talk: Manchester-based breast cancer group changes name ...

Know Breast Cancer, a national group based in Manchester that teaches women ways to help prevent the disease before it starts has changed its name.

The 5-year-old nonprofit organization is now Busting Breast Cancer, www.bustingbreastcancer.org, lead by Susan Wadia-Ells, a Manchester resident.

Besides focusing on prevention, the group also tries to translate existing research behind known, probable and possible lifestyle causes of this disease, into everyday language, and is becoming known for its ?3 Easy Ways? to help women eliminate the risks of developing an invasive breast cancer diagnosis.

The group advocates for the controversial step of using safe outdoor and indoor year-round tanning to raise vitamin D3 blood serum levels to 60-80 ng/ml.

Busting Breast Cancer joins the Silent Spring Institute, the Breast Cancer Fund and the Collaborative on Health and the Environment as a national organization that is 100 percent focused on helping stop breast cancer before it can get started, Wadia-Ells said.

This year the group is publishing a guide by Wadia-Ells that will guide women to adopt seven healthy, inexpensive, easy and yet highly significant ways to help stop breast cancer before it can take root in one?s body ? ever or never again.

Charity dodgeball

About 100 people are ready to don bathing suits to compete in a dodgeball tournament that will raise money for Next Step, a charity that provides help to young people with serious illnesses who have aged out of other benefits.

The Farm Bar and Grille in Essex, in conjunction with GoodMorningGloucester.com, is hosting the second annual Bikini And Speedo Dodgeball Tournament on Saturday, March 4.

It pits teams of five participants age 21 and older against one another in outdoor dodgeball with the participants wearing bathing suits. Nineteen teams, with one slot open, had signed up as of earlier this week to compete for the title.

Those interested in participating or donating should e-mail Joey Ciaramitaro at captjoe06@gmail.com, or Frankie Gwynn at ftgwynne@gmail.com.
