“A few years ago, my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer and a few years before that I had another family [member] die of another cancer. It was a pretty emotional thing to watch somebody go through that type of agony and I didn’t want to see it again. Luckily enough my grandmother caught her cancer in time and she was cured, but a lot of people aren’t...I wanted to bring awareness to everybody that this is something that is pretty widespread and hits a lot of homes and just for people, females specifically, to go get checked regularly.” — Sal Coz Costa, formerly of My Darkest Days, tells Samaritanmag, 2012.
