The 200 Letter Challenge is Still ON!!!
Alright Foundation members, blog readers, friends and family. We need your help! Our goal is 200 hundred letters and we believe that we can do that and MORE. We have an opportunity to make people aware of Lung Cancer and its effects, through Oprah.(cool) The Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation has begun writing letters to Oprah asking her to do a show on "Lung Cancer Matters." We can do our part to help make society aware of this disease by sending letters and representing our foundation.

GIANT STEPS
A GREAT VICTORY IN PROTECTING KIDS FROM TOBACCO!
It is my great pleasure to tell you that the US Senate just passed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (S 982/HR ), which gives the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and sales of tobacco products. The bill was approved in a bipartisan vote of 79 to 17. After more than 10 years of hard work, this lifesaving legislation will soon become law!
This is a major achievement and one that would not have been possible without the hard work and persistence of volunteers and staff nationwide. In the past few weeks alone, more than 5,000 phone calls were placed to members of Congress.
Today history has been made. Thanks to this legislation, we can make cancer history too!
