LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - A health fair at Lafayette Jefferson High School on Sunday focused on life before, with, and after cancer.
More than 40 local businesses had booths at Sunday's event promoting healthy lifestyles. Purdue Oncological Sciences Center representative Susan McCreery said the event highlights local resources for people living with cancer.
McCreery said those resources are helping people look good and feel good while fighting a tough battle. She said many of the resources are free.
"We have the YWCA here and they service more than 23 counties and I don't think people are aware of all the services that are available in Lafayette," said McCreery. "We have salons here that offer free wigs, they do eyebrows, permanent eyebrows, for men and women who have lost their eyebrows in the cancer journey. It's just a resource event open to the community."
The event lasted until 8:00 Sunday evening.
