2011 NHRA Housewives Calendar

IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Angi Austin
A ngi Austin, the true superstar of this calendar, was a beautiful, dedicated
wife, loving and actively involved mother, and genuinely sincere friend to
everyone she knew. Throughout her two-year courageous battle with melanoma,
she remained positively strong and was as cheerful as the day I met her. I was a
young child then, and she was the prettiest girl I had ever seen. I quickly learned
that I was drawn to her contagious laugh and her “angelic” nature. She was
definitely the kind of friend you always enjoyed spending time with. I pray that
Brian, Hunter, Brooke, Carol, Don, Trina, Melani, Nancy and the rest of the tight-
knit Austin-Liss family find peace and comfort through Angi’s love. I know she is
shining bright above us and will continue to guide us through our loss.
In creating this calendar, my goals are simple: to raise funds for melanoma research
and to help provide awareness about this devastating cancer.
My hope remains strong: live each day of your life to the
fullest, just as Angi did. As she once posted in her journal….
“LIVE, LOVE & LAUGH.”
Recently, I spent a day at the Indiana University Simon Cancer
Center which led me to Dr. Touloukian and his melanoma
research. Please see his story below.

In faith and hope,

and daughter, Brooke.

In my laboratory at Indiana University, we are working to discover new ways we
can harness the power of the body’s own immune system to treat melanoma. We
are also exploring the effectiveness of genetically modifying a patient’s stem
cells to cure the melanoma. As a surgeon, I am always working with colleagues
to improve surgical techniques used in removing melanoma tumors.
I encourage you to be aware of the warning signs of melanoma, which can
easily be remembered as the ABC’s of Melanoma:

A - ASYMMETRIC The two halves of a mole should be similar in size and
shape, not asymmetrical.
B - BORDER The edges of a mole should be smooth and regular, not
notched or indistinct.
C - COLOR Moles should have a solid color. Variation is a concern.

suspicious.
E - ELEVATION – Moles that are raised from the skin are suspicious.

If you think you have a mole with any of these characteristics, please have
your family physician or dermatologist examine it.

that will lead to new treatments for this terrible disease.
Sincerely yours,
Most people fail to appreciate the devastating impact of melanoma on our Christopher E. Touloukian, M.D.
society. Melanoma is currently the seventh most common cancer in the United Assistant Professor, Department of Surgery
States. In 2010, more than 69,000 patients will be diagnosed with melanoma Indiana University School of Medicine
(1 in 50 overall), and melanoma will be associated with approximately 9,000
deaths. Most shockingly, melanoma is the only cancer with a rising incidence
rate. This contrasts sharply with the overall steady or decreasing incidence of
all other cancers.
