I expect we all know someone who suffers from cancer; my younger daughter was stricken with breast cancer about 3 years ago and opted for a double mastectomy. The treatment for cancer is barbaric, IMO. As are many treatments for lupus.
So in the interest of fair sharing, I'm posting the appeal here:
Hello Marylin,
My name is Susan Vento. My husband Bruce was a
member of the US
House of Representatives—until October 10th, 2000, when
everything changed.
Bruce died of pleural mesothelioma—a rare disease caused by
asbestos exposure
that kills 90-95% of those who have it. Not many people know
about this
terrible disease, which lead me to reach out to you; I noticed
that you have an
influential blog full of great information. Since we both have
been affected by
cancer in some capacity, I am hoping you will help me spread
awareness about
asbestos cancers and help to protect the rights of those who
have been affected
by mesothelioma and other cancers.
I am spokesperson for a great online resource
called the Cancer
Victims’ Rights Campaign (cancervictimsrights.org)
that fights to
protect cancer victims and their families. I wrote a blog piece
(http://cancervictimsrights.org/my-story-opposition-to-the-fact-act-susan-vento/) and
would
love if you could read it, share it and incorporate your
thoughts. Your
support, and the support of your online community, can make the
difference to
ensure justice for all cancer victims and their loved ones.
Thank you in advance for joining me in my fight
to educate
people about such a deadly disease. Individuals and
families affected by
cancer already have enough on their plate-please, sign &
share the petition
to protect victims’ rights. Together we can make a huge impact!
Best,
Susan
