$7500 raised in one event is an amazing success!

I have given all my possible donation money and then some for this year to the following research fund in honor of my good friend fighting lung cancer right now who never smoked a day in his life. As I gave money I don't have, I explained to my daughter that charitable giving often is stronger later in life when you are more able to give something back. Cancer research funding is different. If you want your donation to help save your own life or a family member, you may need to do it now.
Lungevity Foundation, (Google: 'lungevity')
http://events.lungevity.org/site/PageServer?pagename=v2_DonateNowLung cancer kills twice as many women as breast cancer, three times as many men as prostate cancer. Research funding is slowed by the stigma maybe that smokers today knew what they were getting into, but more than 60% of new diagnosis are with people who quit or never smoked.
Like all cancer, early detection is the key. They are getting close, I am told. to a breakthrough on an effective pre-screen test that would give lung cancer patients a fighting chance for survival. Dr. CCP, any comments on this?
Read all the way through this thread. The previous great causes are still accepting donations too!
