This past Thursday evening, Peter Criss was honored with a very specil award for his work promoting breast cancer awareness. Peter has been very vocal and has worked relentlessly to educate the world that this type of cancer is not limited to women only and his eloquent speech that night was the exclamation point on all he has done so far. Peter talked about meeting other male breast cancer survivors that said they felt all alone because of the general ignorance about the facts. He talked about how couples should check each other for breast cancer, (“that’s one way to get guys to check themselves!”, said Peter). His status as a celebrity gives Peter a unique opportunity to reach out to the media and therefore millions of people with knowledge that can save lives and for this, the Cancer Support Community, and the rest of us, truly thank him.

The evening was topped of by a fashion show for cancer survivors with many local businesses donating hair styling, makeup artists and fashion clothes for the event. At the end of the show Peter came down the Catwalk dressed to the nines with two babes in his arms in typical rock-star style! All-in-all a wonderful evening for everyone involved in the Cancer Support Community.
