Taylorville Memorial Hospital and G.Y.M Fitness in Taylorville tackle the second leading cause of cancer death among women. 

Get Yourself Motivated (G.Y.M). raises $1,200 towards breast cancer screenings through T-shirt sales and donations from clients and employees. They presented a check to the Taylorville Memorial Foundation. 

Executive director of the Taylorville Memorial Foundation Raedena Ryan says that the donation helps six women receive a screening that could be lifesaving. 

TMH provides free breast cancer screenings for under-insured or uninsured women each October as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 

Manager of Taylorville G.Y.M. says that the foundation is the perfect fit for the facility.

The National Cancer Institute recommends all women 40 and older are screened every one to two years.
