Join the LIVESTRONG Army Petition

Today on my walk I stopped by the grave of my friend Danny Dougherty to remember this wonderful man whose life was tragically cut short by esophageal cancer in 2004 at the age of 35. Cancer will take the lives of 560,000 people this year and it seems we all know or hear of someone new diagnosed with this horrible disease. Yesterday I received an email from a friend who is recently in complete remission from Stage IV non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma asking her friends to gather support and find people to sign her LIVESTRONG Army petition urging the next leader of the U.S. to make fighting cancer a national priority. If you would like to be a part of this petition, reply with your name and the state you are from and I will add your name to the petition that needs to be returned by May 13th.

You can learn more about it at http://www.livestrong.org/.

Tuesday, May 13th is national Livestrong day. I will be wearing my yellow bracelet and remembering Danny.
