Typically, I would not post anything like this here. However, given that I receive no benefit from this, I feel comfortable posting in case anyone out there would like to support my DH and I in this endeavor.
I am C&Ping the email that I sent to our close friends and family. Thanks in advance for reading. Both DH and I appreciate any amount that you can donate to a worthy cause.

On Saturday, November 1, 2008, I will participate in the Boston Area
Lung Cancer Walk/Fun Run to benefit LUNGevity Foundation and I am
asking you to support my efforts. As many of you know, Matt's father
was diagnosed last year with lung cancer and underwent surgery to have
one lung removed. Unfortunately, his surgery and subsequent treatments
have been unsuccessful. However, Matt and I remain committed to this
cause and to trying to make a difference for the future, even if it
means walking .8 of a mile at 9 months pregnant!
Every dollar that you contribute to the LUNGevity Foundation brings us
one step closer to finding a cure for lung cancer. In fact, each dollar
that LUNGevity grants will fund more than $1.25 of the most promising
research at the top research facilities. Founded in November, 2000, the
LUNGevity Foundation is the leading private provider of research
funding for the number one cancer killer.
It is faster and easier than ever to support this cause - you can make
your donation online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of
this message. Thank you for supporting this important cause. Please forward this on
to anyone else who may want to donate. Your help means the world to us.
Warmly,
Heather
