Andrea Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I didn't run this by Katie first I was reading People magazine and it said to go to http://people.aol.com/people/article/0, ... metownhero to nominate a Hometown Hero. I nominated Katie Brown and if enough of us do it, maybe we can make some lung cancer noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyCW Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Great idea, Andrea! I just nominated her, too. (Shh... don't tell Katie!) LOL! BeckyCW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitzu Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I just did, also. It's an honor to have met her online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieB Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 oh you guys are so sweet. It's not necessary to nominate me though! I think nominating a cancer survivor from here would definitely get the word out about Lung Cancer! All of YOU are heros!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna G Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I did it too. Katie, I am so lucky to have met you on line AND IN PERSON! Donna G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 One hundred words or less? I sent in my hundred, but since I nominated them as a couple, shouldn't I have been allowed 200? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 Katie, I agree that all the survivors are heroes. But it would be discriminatory to pick just one to nominate You created LCSC and you are the representative of everyone,that is why you were the obvious choice. PS--I love the new picture!

Debi Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Andrea, you are so right- you have such a way with words! Damn it all, you guys know I can't do anything in 100 words or less.... What kind of limit is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Debi, I typed out what I thought and then pared it down to 100 words exactly. Had to substitute shorter phrases in some areas and stay vague, but I DID put in the web address (hopefully, that's only one word!). You can do it, at least it's not 100 combined letters and spacing like trying to send a text message on a cell phone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharonjo Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 100 words really isn't much, is it? Go Katie and Rick! You guys are my pick for Hometown Heroes too! Thanks for all your dedication and hard work! Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 Brian will be nominating Katie via his e-mail tomorrow And my parents will too when I am there All different people with different e-mail addresses. My point is that all household members with different names and different e-mail addresses can enter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welthy Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Done and keeping fingers crossed for this as Katie (and Rick) are so deserving of recognition. Welthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauner95 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 What a great idea! I have sent mine! It was hard to say all that I wanted to say in 100 words. I hope she wins! I was overcome with emotion as I talked about Katie and this group! I couldn't have made it without all of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
