Awareness Issue 2019

This week we shine a light on what we should be paying attention to year round: breast cancer and domestic violence. This year, in the Sun’s Awareness Issue, Staff Writer Zac Ezzone writes about one family’s move to “save the ta-tas” while taking back their powerlifting tradition. Staff Writer William D’Urso speaks with Domestic Violence Solutions about the language barrier that prevents some Mixtec women from seeking help for domestic violence, and I talk to an oncologist at Mission Hope Cancer Center about Hidden Scar surgery.
