Updates & tips from Mallory Fleming
Mallory Fleming Raises Money for Breast Cancer Awareness
CINCINNATI, Ohio – June 3, 2013 – Mallory Fleming is a leader whose commitment to high-achievement, hard work, and community involvement is exemplary—and she’s only 18 years old. When many of her peers are going to year-end parties, Mallory Fleming can be found studying to make honor roll, working at a local clothing store, or working out on the volleyball court. From an early age, Mallory Fleming has been committed to high achievement, for herself, her future, and for others.
According to Mallory Fleming, giving back is essential for any young person and is important for the future of the community. Through volleyball, Mallory Fleming has found a vehicle for giving back to her local community in a significant way. Each year, Mallory Fleming and her teammates at Anderson High School participate in Volley for the Cure to raise awareness about breast cancer and funds for the local Susan G. Komen for the Cure affiliate.
Volley for the Cure takes place at one of the scheduled matches during the regular high school volleyball season. But this is no typical volleyball match, as Mallory Fleming explains. Leading up to the event, schools host publicity events, raffles and other awareness-building activities. Pink Volley for the Cure T-shirts are sold before the event and fill the stands with pink on the night of the match. While each Volley for the Cure match is competitive, playing for a cause makes the matches particularly important, reports Mallory Fleming. More than 26,000 Ohio volleyball players have set, spiked and served in a Volley for the Cure match since it started in 2006.
Mallory Fleming believes it is important for young men and women to learn about breast cancer early, to prepare for future screenings and breast health and to support others who may experience breast cancer in their lifetimes. Each year, nearly 10,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer—an astounding figure, says Mallory Fleming.
While many adults view Mallory Fleming as uniquely committed to giving back to her community at such a young age, she would like her knowledge of breast cancer to be widespread among teenagers and young adults. Young people need to realize that clinical screenings and self-exams should start at age 20, explains Mallory Fleming, but most young adults are completely unaware of this. Volley for the Cure is an easy, fun way to get involved in the community, either through fundraising, playing, gathering and sharing information, or simply coming out in pink to support the teams.
