The death of Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former presidential candidate John Edwards, sparked a nationwide awareness of breast cancer. However, this is nothing new for Ohio.

State celebrities Stefanie Spielman, wife of football player Chris Spielman, and Donna Newberry, Muskingum University softball coach, have led to a flurry of fundraising and research efforts to combat the disease in the state in recent years.

Many treatment and research dollars have gone to early detection — catching the disease before it is too late.
