Free to Breathe
Saturday I will participate in the second Free to Breathe fundraiser for lung cancer. Actually I will be working behind the scenes, but in spirit I will be walking/running. I am dedicating this effort to my dear friend Libby Traylor, who lost her battle with lung cancer several years ago. She was the kind of person the world needed more of and longer of it. She did not have a mean bone in her body. If anything, she was too kind.
Lung cancer has to be stopped. The only way I know is to increase funding for medical research. While the federal government has not increased funding, two states have increased cancer funding–NC and Texas. NC has pledged 50M per year and Texas 3Billion over five years. I would like to challenge the other 48 states to step up and be counted. If it is to be, it’s up to me!
