Contest Alert: 15-40 Connection Challenges You to Take Action Against cancer

The cancer survival rates for adolescents and young adults in the U.S. haven't changed in the last 35 years while it has improved for other age groups, largely because they put off going to the doc when they feel achy, fatigued, or in pain. The organization 15-40 Connection is determined to change this sobering statistic by motivating teens to schedule regular medical checkups--and if you join them in their mission, you could score an awesome prize, from an Apple iPad to a Nintendo Wii! Just enter their "Rock The Doc" contest at by November 30 to receive email reminders of your upcoming doctor appointments, and the winners will be chosen in December. Good luck!!
