 Fundraising Tip

November is Lung Cancer and COPD Awareness Month.  While you are fundraising for the Fight For Air Climb this November, add one or more of the below facts in your ask to donors via, mail, email or in conversation. 

Lung Cancer RibbonDid you know; one reason lung cancer is such a killer is that it is hard to detect in its early stages.  It may take years for the lung cancer to grow, and early on there are usually no symptoms.   Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death.  In 2010, more than 222,000 new cases were expected to be diagnosed and about 157,000 Americans were expected to die from lung cancer.

COPD RibbonCOPD (short for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease) is a lung disease caused by one or more health problems and includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema.  Over time, this disease makes it hard to breathe. It is a very serious disease and right now the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.
