Help us kick off National Lung Cancer Awareness Month and join us in the fight against lung cancer by participating in the 2nd Annual LungStrong 15K/5K at Michael Waltrip's RaceWorld USA in Lake Norman NC.
Pat Kitts 1964-2008
We are very saddened by the news that our dear friend Pat Kitts lost her battle with Lung Cancer on November 8, 2008. As a Committee Member for the LungStrong event she helped spearhead our successful efforts to increase funding for Lung Cancer and raise awareness for this horrific disease. We will miss her dearly.
2008 RACE RESULTS
The Run/Walk event is open to all participants who seek a challenge, runner-friendly course or just a fun and healthy way to support Lung Cancer awareness. The event features Live Music, a Wall of Honor, Massages, Prizes, Inflatables for the kids and much, much more.
The LungStrong 15K/5K benefits LUNGevity Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to funding lung cancer research. LUNGevity Foundation (www.lungevity.org) is the pioneer in lung cancer research, and is the leading private provider of research funding for the number one cancer killer.
FEATURED SITES OF THE MONTH
Jen Bunich (1971-2008)
Co-Chief Founding Mommy
Jen B achieved the perfect balance between working mom and raising a family. Jen B and Jen P met in 1996 when they both worked at a super fun ad agency along with 30 or so other “Jens.” Jen B was always so incredibly dedicated to her job and she climbed the ladder quickly. After giving birth to her daughter, Claire, Jen decided to continue on with her successful career. In doing so, she wanted to give a voice to the working moms on Charlotte Smarty Pants. In the early days of CSP, Jen and Jen would constantly hash out their struggles between “is it easier to be a working mom or stay-at-home mom?” They both came to the conclusion that if they could merge the greatest aspects of both together, then they would have the perfect life.
We tragically lost Jennifer Bunich to non-smoking lung cancer on February 4, 2008. Charlotte Smarty Pants was forever changed. You will always find a piece of her here. We miss you Jen!"
=================================
Bo, his wife, Christi, and 3 year-old daughter, Addi, live in the Lake Norman area. He is a businessman, community supporter and all around great guy. In May of 2006, Bo, a non-smoker, was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. After undergoing treatment for almost two years, Bo recently underwent a double lung transplant and today is living cancer free! Through his struggle, Bo has remained a source of inspiration to many people. He and his family have blogged about his fight at Bo's blog and have also started a charity, Addi’s Cure, where 100% of the money raised goes to the research, treatment and cure of this disease.
