We started on this unexpected journey 3 years ago, when Bobby was given a diagnosis of Stage IV ALK Non Small Cell Lung Cancer.
As we continue this journey we have been so encouraged by the outpouring of support; however, there still is a large need for funding for this disease. The advancement in research is nothing short of miraculous but there is so much more to do and these brilliant scientists, researchers and doctors need our help. Today there is more focus on research and solutions to extend life. One of my goals is to witness those advancements and be a part of helping to find a cure. It will eventually happen with the growing attention Lung Cancer is getting.
ALK-positive lung cancer is caused by a rearrangement of the ALK gene, but we do not know why this rearrangement happens; "I never smoked"! The experts aren't sure of the cause but environmental is not ruled out.
The funds we raise are to increase survival by improving the lives of those vulnerable, at risk, and diagnosed with lung cancer. Help us support this much-needed effort by making a contribution to our fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends.
Onward and Upward the Sky is the Limit! Please help us achieve our goal today. More Research! More Life! Thank you again for your support!
With Love and Appreciation,
Bobby, Robbie & Teeter "Moosie" Washburn
