Assemblyman Alex Sauickie has announced that his office will host a wall of remembrance for breast cancer survivors or loved ones who passed away from the disease.

“October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month because it is important to raise the awareness of the disease and to encourage early detection. The earlier the detection, the greater the chance of surviving,” said Sauickie (R-Ocean). 

 According to the American Cancer Society statistics center, New Jersey women are more likely to get breast cancer than any other form of the disease. Death from breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women in the state.

“I invite residents of the 12th Legislative District to come to my office during the month of October, between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm, and place a pink ribbon on our wall to remember the heroic effort our loved ones went through in their fight against breast cancer,” Sauickie said. “My office will provide the ribbon and assist the public in their remembrance.” 

The office is located at 405 Route 539 (Pinehurst Road) in New Egypt. 

The 12th Legislative District is comprised of Allentown, Chesterfield, Englishtown, Jackson, Manalapan, Matawan, Millstone, New Hanover, North Hanover, Old Bridge, Plumsted, Roosevelt, Upper Freehold and Wrightstown.
