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.
Did 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
(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.

Training Tip
Water
and Cell Phone – don’t leave home without them! Hydration is the key to
replenish what you lose when you sweat. And always be safe while you are
training. You never know when you may need your cell phone.
