Join the Lung Cancer Alliance’s Shine a Light on Lung Cancer Vigil on November 4, 2010.  We just issued the ADAO National Lung Cancer Awareness Month press release today with details.

Meet Jennifer, a loving daughter, who started a WTF? (Where’s the Funding?) campaign for her mother who was diagnosed with lung cancer.  So WTF, where is the funding for lung cancer?  That’s the million dollar question for asbestos victims around the world. 

What can you do?  Beyond lighting a candle on 11.4, you can do three simple actions to raise awareness:   

  1. Forward this email with the below lung cancer facts to your network.
  2. Share Your Story on online.
  3. Post the Shine a Light on Lung Cancer candle of hope, awareness and unity on your Facebook page.

 In unity, Linda
