Join me on my journey
The Story of John Casterline
On July 31st, 2006, I retired for the 2nd time and one week later was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. In Nov of 2010 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had my prostate removed. In Dec of 2010 I was diagnosed with throat cancer and surgery removed 95% of the tumor and radiation was used to complete the therapy.
Since 2011, I have hiked 2308 miles of the 2650 mile Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in an effort to raise awareness about lung cancer, dollars for research, and provide hope to others. For those not familiar with the PCT, it begins at the Mexican border near San Diego and ends at the Canadian border above Seattle.
So, join me on this adventure. I am dedicating this trek to all those who preceded me in the battle to conquer lung cancer. Please, make a contribution for the American Lung Association and support my hike.
Why Fund Raise?
John came to the American Lung Association in August of 2010 asking how we can work together to raise awareness around lung cancer and raise vital funds for research while incorporating his love of the great outdoors and backpacking. Since the start of his campaign, he has raised over $75,000 which has been designated for the American Lung Association's Central Florida programs for lung disease. His goal is to raise $100,000.

I leave a response whenever I appreciate a article on a blog or I have something to contribute to the discussion. It's triggered by the fire communicated in the post I looked at. And on this post American Lung Association. I was actually moved enough to drop a leave a responsea response :) I actually do have 2 questions for you if you do not mind. Could it be just me or do some of these comments come across like left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing at additional online social sites, I'd like to keep up with everything new you have to post. Could you list all of your community sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
