tnmynatt Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I decided to place an ad in the high school yearbook this year. I really feel strongly about trying to make an impact with our kids to keep them from smoking. The text portion is below. The graphics include a lung in the background, the lc ribbon, the website logos, etc. Here is the text portion: Smoking Kills! Save a Life—Yours Stop Now While You Have Your Whole Life In Front of You Lung Cancer Statistics: • 1 in 10 smokers will get lung cancer in their lifetime • 173,000 are diagnosed each year in the U. S. • #1 cancer killer in both men and women, killing over 160,000 annually • Kills more than breast, colon and prostate cancers combined • Less than 15% survive more than five years from diagnosis If you know someone battling this disease, you can get information & support at the locations listed below: http://www.lungcanceralliance.org/ http://www.lungcancer.org/ http://www.4walc.org/ http://lchelp.org/ SPONSORED BY: “Breath of Life” Team formed in honor/memory of all those touched by lung cancer.

mamasbabygirl Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Tina, That is an excellent idea. A yearbook of all places-I never would have thought of it, but I think it is the perfect place to educate about LC. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
