Hi,
Given that GRACE and Lungevity partnership and where Lungevity sponsors many of the webcast, hope it is OK to post this message here.
Since my wife's diagnosis, our family has been active to raise awareness about and funding for lung cancer research through Lungeivity. There is a fund raising event coming up on August 10th: Breathe Deep Seattle 5k Walk/Run
http://events.lungevity.org/site/TR?fr_id=3950&pg=entry
So far, the team (Love For Lynn's Lungs) we have formed are in the lead for the amount of funds raised :-)
Last year, there were 700 participants and the last two years $110k were raised.
If you, the reader, are in Seattle. Please consider joining the event. If you are not in Seattle, please consider making a donation to the event. It is empowering to be a participants in cancer education/fund raising journey instead of just having a title of "survivors" or "care takers"
Thanks!
