Andrea B. Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 In honor of my mom and lung cancer awareness month...I am going on a 6 mile hike this Saturday, with my friend and we will be wearing our lung cancer awareness tshirts I made. I asked friends and family for pledges. I initially set a goal of raising $500, but I quickly surpassed that and have raised $1,200! YEAH!!! All proceeds will be going to ALCASE. In addition, next week I am going to start my media "blitz" (my work background is in public relations), I will be contacting local TV stations for their healthwatch sections and local newspapers with some feature story ideas. All in hopes of raising awareness for lung cancer and finding a cure. It helps to know I can do a little part in battling this demon! Blessings to you all! You each continue to be in my prayers.

Margaret Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Andrea, How great! Is there a way that we could support your particular efforts through donation to ALCASE earmarked as part of your project? Peace, Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cheryl- Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Andrea, You go girl!!! Thanks for taking action to really do somehing for the cause! I admire you. Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyB Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 Way to go Andrea!! The medical profession is getting really closer to humane surgery for LC. This new Cyber-Knife will be able to remove a tumor without all the nerve and rib damage. They are just waiting for the software to be written. I guess that is very difficult, but at least it is being worked on!! JudyB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea B. Posted November 5, 2003 Author Share Posted November 5, 2003 Thank you to everyone for your messages. I admire everyone who maintains their courage and hope in battling this disease. I hate feeling helpless and this is my way of feeling I can contribute. Margaret, thanks for inquiring about donating!! I am not sure if you there is a way to earmark it for my hike. I sent in my donations in honor of my mom, Lillian Ostlund. Here is to finding a cure!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
