Dealing with breast cancer wasn't on my "2025 Bingo Card," but here we are. It was my honor to present the city council's proclamation of "Breast Cancer Awareness Month" in Lakewood. Know your family history, do annual screenings, be proactive, and take good care of you.

Lakewood acknowledges the Ute, Cheyenne, Arapaho and many other Indigenous Nations whose presence and stewardship long predate the founding of our city. We’re grateful for their resilience, leadership and lasting impact on our community.
