LCA in Stand Up To Cancer Magazine

0 Recommendations

I don't know if anyone from LCA posted this (I often miss things), but I just found this on the SU2C site, an interview with LCA Spokesman and Baseball all-time star Cal Ripkin, Jr.:
http://su2c.standup2cancer.org/node/2405 -
Wonderful!

I also found an article, "Lung Cancer and Stigma: A Sister's View." No one had commented yet, so I posted a thank you. It would be great if more people would respond, since more folks will likely visit the site in the days leading up to and following the TV special. http://su2c.standup2cancer.org/node/780?page=2 I wish I'd said more about the stigma - maybe others could share how the sigma feels...

And it would certainly make the writer feel good to know that people are reading and caring.

Thanks,
Lori

Lori- That was hard to read - I would have responded if I could have figured out how.

I know what you mean, Karen -- but people do read comments and as you and I discussed yesterday, there wasn't a single one and I felt very sad for her that no one responded to her story and pain.
It's so important that people write and talk about the stigma. I wonder if anyone will touch on that in the TV special...

And I just went to review the comment I posted last night and it wasn't there -- weird -- so I posted again.

Hi Lori,
Thanks for sharing that! I saw this a few weeks ago and was so impressed by it, but forgot to comment - so I did just now, thanks for the hint! My comment hasn't shown up yet (but yours is there) but maybe they vet the comments before posting .
Also, FYI to anyone viewing the article from Lori's link - it defaults to the last page of the article, so it might not make sense reading it from that page. Go to the bottom of that page and scroll back to page one (it's a three page article) to get the full impact. It's an AWESOME piece!

Hi Lori, I didn't see this post and cannot get into web site. Said it expired! How can we help?

Hi Lori,

I can't get on it either. I get an Error message. Oh well.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Bups. It looks like they've taken everything down for now to encourage viewing of the show and donations, but I bet it will come back up tomorrow.
In the meantime, I wrote to Kay at LCA to see if she knows anything.
Thanks for wanting to help!
Lori

I know we will be watching tonight. Hope it brings heavy donations and recognition for the battle we fight!

I'm having a problem recovering the 2 web sites you gave me. Would you be kind enough to resend?

Sorry - Bobbi

Hi, Bobbi, and it's good to know your name!

You can't get to any of the other pages that used to be up there- but here's the link to the site: http://su2c.standup2cancer.org/
and here's the site to donate:
https://www.standup2cancer.org/donate_splash.asp

I do think the other parts of the very extensive site will be back up tomorrow. It's smart of them to focus on fundraising for now.
Take care,
Lori
