kimblanchard Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 I recently came became aware of the Joan Scarangelllo Foundation when a good friend of mine passed away from lung cancer. She was a 5 year survivor - Stage IV. Her family requested that donations be made to this organization in lieu of flowers. I am very impressed by what I have read. They award grants annually for research projects. The reciepent must bear all of their indirect costs related to the research which means each dollar donated goes towards finding a cure/better treatment for us. Joan was a writer in NYC. She was a life long non-smoker and 47 years old when she passed away 9 months after being diagnosised. They have a website where you can read more. www.joanslegacy.org I ask that you take a look and consider supporting them in whatever activism/ advocate activities that you take on.

Melinda Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Maureen, I am a life-long New York City girl, and yet was not aware of this foundation, either. I really appreciate the information and the link; I really like what I see, as well. Time to find time to do a little research... Thank you!

Donna G Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Too bad they do not have a link to this site in their list of resources. Donna G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen335 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Dr.Tim Johnson and Charlie Gibson are both from ABC, which is sadly where Peter Jennings soes the Nightline News. There should be a lot more involvement with Joan's Legacy. Apparently she was a very fluential(sp?) person. In fact Charlie Gibson is going to be sitting in for Mr.Jennings when he's not feeling well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
