Latina Soap Opera Star and Breast Cancer Survivor Helps Raise Awareness 

Soundbite and Script

September 7, 2011

ANNOUNCER:

BREAST CANCER IS THE MOST COMMON FORM OF CANCER AMONG LATINAS. HOWEVER, LATINAS ARE LESS LIKELY TO UNDERGO REGULAR MAMMOGRAMS AND ARE LESS LIKELY TO FOLLOW UP WHEN A SCREENING SHOWS ABNORMAL RESULTS. ADAMARI LOPEZ IS A SOAP OPERA STAR AND BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR AND ACTIVIST.  

ADAMARI LOPEZ:

“When I was diagnosed with breast cancer six years ago, I was able to overcome the disease thanks to early detection and the support of my family. As a survivor, Yoplait’s “Save Lids to Save Lives” campaign is very important to me, and so is this year’s theme, which is “Take Care Of The Women In Your Life.” Early detection can and does save lives so talk to the women in your life about getting screened. 

ANNOUNCER:

TO GET INVOLVED, COLLECT AND SEND IN PINK LIDS FROM YOPLAIT YOGURT CUPS. FOR EACH LID YOU SEND IN BEFORE DECEMBER 31, YOPLAIT WILL DONATE 10 CENTS TO SUSAN G. KOMEN FOR THE CURE, UP TO 2 MILLION DOLLARS. VISIT TAPAS PARA LA VIDA DOT COM FOR MORE. I’M MARIA ANGELICA ALAYA.
