On
Wednesday, June 6, please join with thousands of Americans
across the country and participate in the American Lung Association's
Lung Cancer Research Call-In Day by calling your elected
officials in Washington. This is an opportunity for all of us to speak with one
voice about the need for lung cancer research to be a national
priority.
Lung cancer
is the leading cancer killer in the United States, killing nearly 160,000 people
every year, with one of the highest incidence rates and one of the lowest
survival rates. That's why we need your help in calling your Members of
Congress.
If we want to see a change in the rates of this
dreaded disease, Congress must increase funding for lung cancer research so it
can be diagnosed earlier and treated more effectively.
On Wednesday
morning, June 6, you will be e-mailed information on how to call your Members of
Congress as well as suggested talking points to call your Representative and two
Senators in Washington, asking them to support additional funding for lung
cancer research at the National Institutes of Health.
To maximize
the impact of these calls, please wait to make your calls until
Wednesday, June 6. Also, please spread the word to family and
friends and let them know that next Wednesday is Lung Cancer
Research Call-In Day.
Thank you for
joining together with us and fighting for lung cancer research
funding.

additional questions, please contact advocacy@lung.org or www.lung.org/lungcancercallinday. |
