Cancer activist recognized as Honorary Bat Girl
(MLB.com Cincinnati Reds)

Carrie Hayden overcame Hodgkin`s lymphoma 32 years ago, but found herself decades later in an unwanted sequel with cancer. Five years ago, Hayden was successfully treated and survived triple negative breast cancer. However, Hayden is far from being done with fighting. Because of her efforts, the Cincinnati resident was named as the Reds` Honorary Bat Girl as part of the Mother`s Day tradition in Major League Baseball, `Going To Bat Against Breast Cancer.`
