Missouri Town Sees High Number Of Brain Tumor Cases

Let’s follow this story as it unfolds. Erin Brockovich is a hero in my eyes (I hope everybody has seen the movie!!); let’s see what’s happening with this tumor cluster in Missouri. I’ll follow up on Oct 14 and see what’s released about her visit to Cameron.

CAMERON, Mo. — The high number of brain tumors reported in Cameron is in the national news again.

KMBC has learned that Erin Brockovich, the woman portrayed in the award-winning movie starring Julia Roberts, will fly into Cameron next month to hold a public forum with concerned residents.

Brockovich, who grew up in Lawrence, Kan., is famous for her crusade to help a small town in California find out what was causing so many residents to get sick.

Her investigation led to an historic $333 million settlement from a utility company that was blamed for toxic chemicals leaking into the residents’ groundwater.

Brockovich now crusades for other communities and has been following the reports of brain tumors in Cameron.

Brockovich will be in Cameron on Oct. 13 at Goodrich Auditorium for a public forum.
