“See that big smile? That smile is because I know I’m doing my best to stay healthy for my children. That means eating better, working out, and making sure I go for my annual physical, among other things. Part of my physical is taking the Pap Test. I can’t stress enough about the importance of taking this test. A Pap test can give a woman a better chance at a cure for cervical cancer if detected early. It can also detect abnormal cells early, which can help in possibly halting the development of cancer. As a woman and as a mom, I feel that all women should have access to a Pap test that can potentially save their lives.”
