Lexie Hull and Briann January give back to the Indianapolis community
Lexie Hull and Briann January handed over the $10,000 check on Monday morning at St.
Vincent Women's Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Indiana Fever wants to help women who cannot easily pay for breast cancer tests.
Jaime Hull reminded everyone that her own mother never felt sick or found a lump. A routine screening found the cancer. She asked all women to use these programs and get tested even when they feel healthy.

'1 in 8 women will have breast cancer in their life.'

'Security in India is much better than in Pakistan': Hockey official on PAK, Oman pulling out of Asia Cup hockey
Pakistan hockey team (Image credit: X) Pakistan and Oman have withdrawn from the upcoming Hockey Asia Cup 2025, citing security concerns. The tournament, scheduled from August 29 to September 7 in Rajgir, Bihar, has sparked reactions from Indian hockey officials who have dismissed these security worries. The winner of this prestigious continental championship will secure a spot in the 2026 FIH Hockey World Cup. Hockey India Secretary General Bhola Nath Singh questioned Pakistan's decision to pull out. "Why isn't Pakistan coming? Why are they not participating? This is not clear to us," Singh said. He firmly stated that "security and all the arrangements in India are much better than in Pakistan." Former India hockey captain and Congress MLA Pargat Singh also rejected the security concerns. "There is no such issue in India, I don't think there is any such problem in our country," he said. He pointed out that Pakistan's behaviour was disappointing from a sporting perspective. Pargat Singh also commented on Pakistan's declining hockey standards. He noted that internal disturbances had affected Pakistan's once-strong hockey program, saying "Pakistan Hockey was good once but if there are internal disturbances, everything gets affected." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo Despite the withdrawals, organisers remain focused on hosting a successful event.
