Fact #8

1. In last minute, about 7 people died just because of smoking which means smoking claims 1 life every eight seconds.

Fact #7

 Living in a polluted city is not a greater risk for lung cancer than smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. Air pollution is actually far less likely to cause lung cancer than smoking cigarettes. Being a smoker, or even being frequently exposed to second hand smoke is more dangerous than the level of air pollution encountered in US cities. In fact, about 87% of lung cancers are thought to result from smoking or passive exposure to tobacco smoke.

Fact #6

Some famous people who went through lung cancer include...Steve McQueen, John Wayne, Paul Newman, George Harrison, and Walt Disney.

Fundraisers!!!

I am currently looking into some different fundraiser ideas.  I think I will be making dog biscuits which I will then sell.  All the money will go towards a piece of artwork for the Emory Winship Cancer Center.

An incredible story...

I found a blog that has a heartwarming story of a young cancer survivor who never smoked a day in her life.  Please check it out!

Doing quite well...

In able to achieve the gold award you need to put in a minimum of 80 hours...I am proud to report that I am over half way there.  As of this moment I have 43 hours.
