Karen Engleman (R-Georgetown) pairs sneakers with her suit to draw attention to National Cancer Prevention Month Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2019, at the Statehouse in Indianapolis. Each year, the Indiana House of Representatives participates in the Suits and Sneakers challenge, an annual event hosted by the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches. An estimated 35,280 Hoosiers will be diagnosed with cancer in 2019, according to the American Cancer Society. The Suits and Sneakers event highlights ways to reduce the risk of cancer like exercise and healthy lifestyle choices.
