Karma1976 Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 You know how there are emails that get forwarded around for other cancer awareness months. Does anyone know if there is one for Lung Cancer already?? If not maybe we can come up with one?? We can maybe compile some links and info to go on it. I have a friend who does graphics so maybe i can ask her to come up with a nice clear ribbon for it? Just a thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karma1976 Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 So what exact info should we include? I think it would be great to get the info out. You can even email it to news media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 You know awhile ago Sandy did one that was great and I sent it out to everyone. Maybe she could help you? It had pictures of members etc. I will try to see if I can find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karma1976 Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 That is nice. I might come up with my own i guess I really want it to be one of those mass emails that even comes back to me! Which of all the site do you guys think that has most up to date facts and info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karma1976 Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 Thank you katie! yeah i want to come up with a visually appealing email chain for lung cancer awareness Month. I am suprised there isn't one yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karma1976 Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 Oh my I have an idea that might work really well!!!! Well not sure we can do it but that wonderful wonderful photo montage (had enya playing to it, but not sure if that would be allowed) Maybe use that (if people would allow it) and send the link via mass emails. with facts popping up in between pictures of our loved ones and people on this board (if people agree) and then at the end have the ribbon and a November lung cancer awareness month..maybe at the beginning state lung cancer awareness month? Is this possible or is this just a crazy vision? I just want it to get out there and touch people and make them think, make them act!!!! We can give them a link to this, and other sites also!!!

Lisa O Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I sent this out: All these beautiful people Some still with us Some passed on, Mothers and fathers Sons and daughters Husbands and wives, Ask you to try To identify their plague: It kills more men each year Than prostate cancer, It kills more women each year Than breast cancer, It kills three times more people Per year than AIDS. Yet there aren't any public outcries, There aren't any celebrity sponsors, There aren't any fund raising marches. The government allocates it 1/9th of Funds to research as it does to other diseases, Although they've made billions off its sources. These people have to endure "Second class citizen" status from doctors, And horrible fatality rates. Have you figured it out yet? Lung Cancer is a merciless Killer.... To stop the death of innocent people, scientists need more funding. We also must stop blaming the victims of this horrible disease. Please help to see that lung cancer gets the research funding and attention necessary to put an end to it's killing rampage! Please help by forwarding this message to everyone on your email list to raise awareness for lung cancer awareness month. People must be aware that lung cancer is not just a disease of long time smokers. It is attacking more and more young non smokers. It is also a disease that NO ONE deserves. It is a vicious killer and robs families of young mothers and fathers, grandparents, aunts and uncles -any valuable relationship. Please help spread the word that we will no longer tolerate shoving the number one cancer killer in the closet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckyCW Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Thanks -- I'm sending out something tomorrow morning to lots and lots of people, many of whom I know will forward it to more and more people.

Karma1976 Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 Is there anyway we can use that picture montage? I think people visually would be really recetive to that when they see the faces of people who are affected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadstimeon Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Here's another site that suggests ways to get the word out also. Maybe you can add that link to the e-mail also. http://lcam.org (Lung Cancer Awareness Month / LCAM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Karma1976, Pm SandyS about the photo montage, I am sure she got everyone's permission when she set it up. I don't think she's seen this thread or she would have responded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 The picture montage is a great Idea, however it was 2.5 meg in its entirity and for people on dialup connections, it would most likely anger them in waiting for the email to download each time. If you wanted to include the link to it, feel free.... Link - http://lchelp.com/community/Movie1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
