I want to thank everyone for replying.... We do have a facebook page, just search Love Your Lungs Philly On that page you can find our Twitter page.... I'm gonna get out as much as possible in the next month to promote it.... if I can't do as great as I wanted this year... there's always next year!!!!

Thank you! This is my third year and always a month before the event I have major anxiety. Last year at this time I only had 50 people registered at 150 people showed up.... so in all honestly I don't know how the event will turn out. I'm always putting stress on myself, trying to out-do what I did the year before. Thank you for taking the time to write!!!

Thank you!! We have made both a facebook and twitter page. I have two local hospitals as sponsors... but with only 30 days left till the event and a lot of last minute stuff to wrap up I don' t know how much time we have to get schools and other businesses involved. I wouldn't even know how to approach it. I would contact the schools and see if we can post fliers or posters and get the kids involved in the event.... If not this is a great start for next years event

Hey everyone I need some advice. I don' t know if I'm posting this in the right place but I need to vent. I am having problems promoting my event in Philadelphia. It seems as though we are in competition with the National Lung Cancer Partnership "Free to Breathe" event that is one weekend before mine. As you can tell they are a much bigger event than mine.... pretty much on a totally different level. It seems as though they have the attention and I can't get my little walk noticed. Any advice??? Thanks!

The Both of you have really great ideas!!! Thank you so much!

Does anyone know of any companies in the Philadelphia and surrounding areas that would be interested in becoming a Corporate sponsor for our event. Please let me know~Thanks!!! Jackie

Im so sorry to hear about your Dad. My mom-mom was the same age when she was diagnosed, but by then it had already spread to her brain, by the time we found out the only thing we could do was make her comfortable. There are never enough answers to ease your mind, but know that there are people you can lean on for support.... Jackie

Hey Everyone I'm Jackie I am here because within the last 5 years I have lost both of my grandparents to lung cancer, one smoked, one did not. I am a registered nurse in Philadelphia and came in contact with the Lungevity Foundation when I started a lung cancer walk last year in the Philadelphia area. I am here to meet all of you, be a support system, and a friend. I am having a walk again this year in Bucks County, Pa on November 8th if anyone is interested and from the area. I miss my grandparents so much and being a nurseI thought I would be able to "fix" it, I realized when it came to them, I had to be a grandchild and not a nurse. It's so frustrating reading all the sterotypes people get who have lung cancer....No one deserves it no matter what you have done in your life. Hope to hear fom all of you soon! Jackie
