I just wanted to post that the Shine a Light vigils will be occurring around the country tonight. In Boston, it will be held at the Prudential Center at 6:30. They are actually lighting up the top of the Pru Center with the color blue during this candlelight vigil. Check out the link below:

My wife and her family will all be there. I thought that I would share this with the community. God bless all.

You are welcome. My family's goal is to bring awareness to this cause. We are trying to support all the initiatives we can for lung cancer. Take care.

We live in California and we had one in our home town. My sister and I put it together in two weeks so we were not able to get the word out to everyone, but we had about 18 people and it turned out really nice. Hopefully next year it will be even better and bigger.

Hi Tanya,

That is great that you organized this and had this turn out. We are hoping to build on this in Boston also. My wife saw a lot of the people she sees when she goes to Mass General. We hope that we can build on this in the future and gain the support that is needed to fight this disease. I wish you all the best and thank you so much for your note.
