This past summer Herndon Live had a television exclusive of the signing of the gubernatorial proclamation for the new Virgina Teen Cancer Awareness Week. This proclamation came on the heels of the Virginia State Legislature unanimously passing a similar resolution stating that the third week of January beginning in 2015 will be Teen Cancer Awareness Week and will continue in each succeeding year. Teen cancer survivors and their families along with Virginia Delegate Tom Rust and Del. Ken Plum witnessed Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe signing the proclamation in Delegate Tom Rust’s office in Herndon, Virginia. Local support group and advocacy organization, Bite Me Cancer, was crucial in making this happen. Catch this HCTV exclusive throughout the week and this Thursday @ 9:00 PM.
