The students at Pressley Ridge Day School Greensburg had the honor of welcoming guest speaker, Mr. Bill Cousins, to inform them of the dangers of smoking cigarettes and chewing tobacco. Mr. Cousins works at Andrew J. Semesco Foundation, Inc. for Oral, Head & Neck Cancer research. Part of the foundation’s purpose is to fund research and to promote, sponsor and develop innovative methods for the prevention, detection and treatment of oral, head and neck cancer.
Mr. Cousins was kind enough to share his time and knowledge with the students. His presentation began with valuable information on the dire effects of using tobacco and then it evolved into a heartbreaking story about his late son, who suffered from a severe case of lung cancer caused by heavy smoking for several years. Every student was attentive and engaged. We are all very appreciative of Mr. Cousins for taking the time out of his day to visit Pressley Ridge Day School Greensburg.
