Cancer sucks......
My dad passed away 5 months after being diagnosed with lung cancer. Horrible Horrible way to go.
Very sad indeed......

I always prefered NBC over ABC, however Peter Jennings is a name no one in radio/television doesn't respect... too young to pass away...
Peter Jennings Dead At 67 - ANTHONYD - 08-08-2005
I have a very good friend who's father has lung cancer.
Never smoked!
Peter Jennings Dead At 67 - SangriaRedZX5 - 08-08-2005
Wow! So young. Very sad!
Both my grandparents died from lung cancer.

Should have had an envelope and asked us anyways, I would have pitched in $20 or so.
We raise cash all year at the office, sponsor other events, and the company always matches our employee-raised contributions. Gotta love that. :)
That's why I fix up computers and get them crunching - to do the medical research that would otherwise take YEARS to do without simulations.

I help organize the Niagara tournament of hope golf tourney and the West Lincoln Hospital tournament.
Last year the N.T.O.H raised close to 180k for breast cancer research. We had cars donated for hole-in-ones, Vermont Castings BBQs for raffle prizes and a whack of sponsorships. The silent auction was incredible. Signed Tiger Woods flags from Augusta went for 21k ALONE!!!!!
I cried aftewards. It was incredible.
