• Hilary Swank Partners with American Cancer Society: The American Cancer Society announces the development of a new documentary film in collaboration with Academy Award-winning Actress Hilary Swank to inspire women nationwide to make their own health a priority and take everyday steps to help prevent cancer.

More than half of cancer deaths could be prevented if people maintained a healthy weight through diet and regular exercise, avoided tobacco products and got recommended cancer screening tests. Choose You the documentary tells the powerful and emotional stories of three women on their journey to put their personal health first despite many challenges such as family situations, busy schedules, and other roadblocks that often get in the way of a woman's personal health priorities. The documentary will be released online for women everywhere on June 23 at www.chooseyou.com. Women can join the movement and receive an invitation to the online premiere by registering at www.chooseyou.com or by "liking" Choose You on Facebook.
