Ry Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 It sounds absolutely wonderful. It is great that in addition to raising much needed research dollars, you are educating the public about lung cancer and raising awareness. The displays and speeches will make a huge impact. You should be so proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
