Lung Cancer kills more people than any other cancer in the U.S.-I need Support

Click Here to Donate to “Fight for Air Climb”

26 DAYS LEFT! I am going to be raising money to help support the prevention of lung cancer by competing in a “Fight for Air Climb”.  The competition requires participants to hustle up the 2nd LARGEST building in Orlando as fast as they can.  It is 25 stories high with 512 stairs!  Firefighters have to compete with full bunker gear on which can weigh up to 60lbs!  I am privileged enough to train with some of these heroic men and am hoping to win against the females due to my intense training.

Lung Cancer kills more people than any other cancer in the U.S.

Lung Cancer kills more people than any other cancer in the U.S.

“More people die from lung cancer than from any other type of cancer. This is true for both males and females. In 2005 (the most recent year for which statistics are available), lung cancer accounted for more deaths than did breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers combined. In 2005, 90,139 men and 69,078 women in the United States died of lung cancer That same year, 107,416 men and 89,271 women were diagnosed with lung cancer.”   Not to mention more and more children are developing lung cancer and have never touched a cigarette.  Scary huh? Please help.

I need at least $100 in donations to participate.  If you want to support the American Lung Association and the research and advocacy of lung cancer or you want to support me because you  love me that much then please CLICK HERE and you can donate online.  Its very easy and your donations will not go overlooked.  Even if you can only spare $5.00.  There are a lot of people out there who need any support you can give.

Check back frequently because I will keep you posted on my training for this event that I hope to win!

ALSO, if you want to sign up to participate in this event please feel free. The more the merrier!  We can train together:)  OR you can just come watch because there will be live music and food! Check the website for more details…http://www.mrsnv.com/evt/home.jsp?id=2444
