00:10 "Hey everyone, welcome to Trend Street."
00:13 October is more than just pumpkin spice lattes and falling leaves. It's National Breast Cancer
00:20 Awareness Month, a significant time dedicated to raising awareness, educating people about this
00:24 disease, and raising funds for crucial research. For many, it's a reminder of the importance of
00:29 early detection and the ongoing battle against breast cancer. This year, the campaign held a
00:34 special meaning for Paxton Nishkind, the young and talented child star who has been a cast member of
00:39 The Young and the Restless since 2022 as Johnny Abbott. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Paxton
00:44 revealed to his followers that his mother, Jenna Ermold, is currently facing the challenging journey
00:49 of battling breast cancer. Paxton, at just 14 years old, expressed the significance of Breast
00:55 Cancer Awareness Month not only for the world but for him and his family personally. He wrote,
01:00 "October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is very important to me. His words carry a weight
01:05 far beyond his years and we're pretty sure it was very hard for him." He continued,
01:09 "My mom was diagnosed this year and thanks to so many advances she is doing well. His mom,
01:14 as seen in the picture, is wearing the symbolic pink ribbon, the universal sign of breast cancer
01:18 awareness and looks like his mom also lost her hair to treatment." But Paxton's post isn't just
01:23 about sharing his family's story, it's a call to action. He spreads a message of hope and
01:28 encouragement, urging people to know their risk, undergo regular screenings, be aware of what's
01:32 normal for their bodies, make healthy lifestyle choices, and most importantly, take action.
01:37 In those few sentences, he says, "Please consider supporting cancer research. Pink together,
01:43 strong forever." After the post, The Young and the Restless' official Instagram page was quick
01:48 to show their support by sending a heart emoji to the family. Judah Mackey, who plays Paxton's
01:53 on-screen half-brother Connor, also chimed in with words of encouragement, saying, "Your mom
01:57 is such a fighter, we're here for you guys." The Soap's publicist, Matt Cain, also said,
02:02 "You're a good son to a great mom." Paxton replied with a heartfelt, "Thank you so much."
