Summit for CML

[Guest guest]

Dear Greg,

Good of you to explain the difference in the relays and Light the Night,

even though they are very important as our fund raisers, it is also important to

become advocates. Some don't even have the most basic of skills when it comes

to advocacy, they are new to all of this and we can't leave them behind, we need

to keep them informed. There are a lot of things we can do, but we have to

start somewhere. We are indebted to people who run in the relays and Light the

Night and delegates like you who will be carrying the torch to bring awareness

of what CML is and look at the face of cancer in an entirely different light.

We need to take these causes to congress and let them know we are tired of

getting less and less money for research. Some of our taxpayer money should be

going for these causes, instead of these mindless pork bills, building abridge

to nowhere is the one that sticks in my mind and in my craw. Some people are

crusaders for the Right to Life, some Pro-choice, everyone has an axe to grind,

but someone has to represent these ideas to the right committees in congress, or

they will not get through committee for a vote in congress. We have to keep

moving forward, or we will begin to lose our rights.

We are the face of cancer,

Lottie
