Highlights & Memorable Moments:

6:15: CHARISSA REFLECTS ON WORKING WITH ERIN EARLY IN HER CAREER:
- CHARISSA: “Erin and I have done this job for a long time and she had the job I wanted…fast forward I ended up getting hired by ESPN where Erin was and she came running out of the door and gave me a big hug and said ‘if you need anything I'm here for you.’ That was 17 years ago.”

33:38: CHARISSA TALKS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF MAMMOGRAMS AND EARLY DETECTION
- CHARISSA: “1 in 8 women will face breast cancer in their lifetime yet only 1 in 2 women receive their mammogram…It's really important to highlight not just the stats of the game but the stats of life that have a major impact on everything because early detection is key.”

35:22: ERIN OPENS UP ABOUT HER CANCER DIAGNOSIS:
- ERIN: “What is our gameplan? It's putting ourselves first. I was diagnosed with cervical cancer at a regular screening..I had zero symptoms and week three of a season back in 2017 I found I had cancer and changed my life. I caught it early so I didnt have to have a hysterectomy.. so that is why I stress to everybody, early detection is key – you have to make the appointment and go.”
