Frances Reynolds, the city's victim advocate, was recently featured on WLTX in a segment documenting her fight against breast cancer and the work she has done in the community to help others fighting the disease.

The segment highlights her charitable work and the role she plays increasing breast cancer awareness in the midlands.

"We're fortunate to have Frances as a part of the Forest Acres family," said City Administrator Mark Williams. "Her courageous fight against cancer serves as an inspiration, and her work in the community is something we are all extremely proud of."
