What I Did With My Tweet of The Week Winnings
Thank you all for nominating my tweet last week about centers for Heroine Users in Ithaca, NY. Because of you all, I was able to donate $58 to the Lung Cancer Research Foundation. I did this in memory of my late Uncle, Barry. He passed away 2 years ago from lung cancer after never smoking a day in his life. I chose to donate to this organization because I strongly agree with its mission statement: to improve and save lives by funding groundbreaking research for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure of lung cancer. While lung cancer continues to claim nearly 1.6 million lives each year around the world, the Lung Cancer Research Foundation is making significant strides to create a world free of this horrible disease. Every dollar donated to this organization helps to potentially save innocent victims of lung cancer, and helping to fund research for this disease is very important to me... so thank you all for giving me this opportunity to do so!
