Andalusia Native Participates in Cancer Study Fundraiser

Lorie Locklier, an Andalusia High School graduate who is currently residing in the Birmingham neighborhood, was chosen to take part in a Norma Livingston Ovarian Cancer Foundation fundraiser called the 2011 Bombshell Calendar. She was at last year’s event, which, she said, also had a gala. “I believe they are going to do the same thing this year. It seemed like a good cause.”

According to Locklier, since women are prone to bloating and frequent urination, ovarian cancer is like a common symptom among them.

The Bombshell Calendar is said to be 1950s and 1960s-themed. According to Locklier, although she is the old fashioned type, she does not see the vintage pin-up art calendar as risqué-looking, especially since it is used for raising funds for a good cause.

For her to be included in the calendar, she needs to raise $1,564. So far, she has raised %776. In order to help raise money, Locklier has formed her own Web page, firstgiving.com/lorielocklier.

Lorie Locklier is dedicated to helping cancer research as her family has been affected by the disease; her aunt was diagnosed with it, but majority of her family members have been affected by cancer in general.
