Cady McClain may be busy popping in and out of Salem as fan-favorite "Days of Our Lives" character Jennifer Horton, but she's also been working on some very important projects off-screen. One of those is helping advocate for breast cancer awareness. The actress tells Soap Hub that she met producer Andrew Carlberg, and the two were tasked with putting together a PSA about breast cancer. "[The National Breast Cancer Coalition was] able to use it to help raise a million dollars at an event they had," McClain noted.
Following the PSA, McClain was asked to do another, and this time she had more creative control. She included women who were breast cancer survivors and advocates in her Public Service Announcement, which she shared on her Instagram account. The subject of breast cancer is one that the actress holds close to her heart, as her mother tragically died from the disease at the age of 57.
McClain encouraged women to advocate for their health by using the tools and resources available to them, as well as taking care of their bodies in hopes of preventing illness and disease. The actress has opted to use her talent and platform to help ignite change and shed light on a topic that impacts millions of women and their loved ones worldwide. For that, her fans have commended her.
