Grammy nominated artist Musiq Soulchild recently GOT AMPED with the co-star of VH1’s hit series "Marrying the Game" Tiffney Cambridge for a breast cancer awareness PSA.
In order to help drive the message, "Don't Wait. Why Wait? Cancer Doesn't" and encourage all to learn the facts, they were joined by Grammy Winner Milwaukee Buck (Mix Engineer & Producer), Jasmine Sanders (Co-Host of the D.L.Hughley "In The Afternoon Show"), Herkules (National Radio Host), Nicole Chaplin (Celebrity Fitness Trainer & Author), and a few other celebrities to raise awareness for breast cancer.
According to the The American Cancer Society, about 2,240 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among men, in 2013. The United States Cancer Statistics states that 40,676 women in the United States died from breast cancer, in 2009 AND The American Cancer Society estimates that close to 39,620 women will die from breast by the close of 2013.
All involved in the campaign have been impacted by cancer in some way. Tiffney's mom died of breast cancer 8 years ago. Herkules is a child cancer survivor. Musiq is a long-time advocate of prevention and doesn't hesitate to help raise awareness. They are AMPED so that NO MORE LOVED ONES will die! They are AMPED because ...
