The Problem
The problem I am trying to solve is a lack of education about teen cancer. My school system and many other school systems in my area have no information about cancer in the curriculum. This is a problem because I personally know at least 5 individuals who are struggling both mentally and physically with the challanges that cancer brings into their lives. Because the school systems have no information about cancer, teens are blind to the potentially life threatning behaviors they could be embracing and they have no idea what to look for when it comes to cancer diagnosis. Also many adults in my community are uninformed about cancer and they could benefit from having information avalible as well.
Plan of Action
I am in the process of creating a campaign for Teen Cancer Education. This campaign includes a bumper sticker, flyer, poster, brochure, and a segmented DVD. These materials will be donated to my school system, the American Cancer Society, the Girl Scouts of America, and the Public Health System.
