Friday, September 5th ABC, NBC and CBS will join together for an unprecedented telethon called Stand Up To Cancer. It will air from 8 to 9 p.m. on Channel 5. When I heard about the telethon I thought it would be a great springboard for getting out the latest information and share compelling stories about cancer. Producer Jennifer Berryman who worked so closely with me on Kelley’s Story agreed.
Liz Brunner, Dr. Tim Johnson and I will bring you these stories next Tuesday through Friday in our 5 and 11 p.m. news. CityLine will also take part, reporting on the National Institue for Health’s ‘Sister Study’ for breast cancer, highlighting a support group at Dimock Community Health Center and airing my entire interview with Robin Roberts in the September 7th show.
Here’s the schedule. As always, thanks for watching.
