Thank for sharing this Rhonda. I liked the clip from CNN with Lance Armstrong also.

Thanks for the link Rhonda, I sent my email off. LET'S MAKE CANCER ISSUES SEXY AGAIN:

Let's not allow America to cheaply regress in cancer funding. <st1:country-region><st1></st1></st1:country-region> Participate, speak up and demand what the American people need, adequate cancer funding. May our collective voices be heard and not silenced.

LET'S MAKE CANCER ISSUES SEXY AGAIN:

Thanks Rhonda
Hi Rhonda,

Thank you for sending this on. I just finished watching this. It is amazing what we don't know. It is very easy to read between the lines and to know that we must take a stand and see that our health care system is monitored. I think it should be monitored by cancer patients/survivors/families/friends and anyone else who truly knows that there should not be a price on any human life. I am willing to do my part and will come up with some ideas to address this.

Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Liz J.
