    Thanks for the info. I am participating in the Relay for Life walk in April, and would love to be able to put this information out at our team booth. People do not know how EC is becoming so rampant and need to be told about it.
    Thanks, Sandra

    Thank you Kim for doing this

    Thank you Kim for doing this . . .

    You can get the kits from the ECAN website at this address
    http://www.ecan.org/site/PageServer?pagename=Home#kits (Cut and paste into your browser).

    One you get to the page scroll down to the Reach Out Kit and click on the link to "Get it now!" You will be taken to a page to fill out your name and address information. Good luck I ordered my kit and can't wait to get it.

    Best,
    Cindy

    go to ECAN.org for life saving Kits
    thank Cyndi!

    --you only have to remember ECAN.org---it brings you to the same page and then scroll down to the "Reach Out Kits". You can click to request them.

    Also, you'll see a map on the site that is tracking our state EC Awareness Month Efforts!!! Our goal is 100% of states in PERIWINKLE!

    Also---I like your ideas everyone on how to share this info! I think I'd like to compile a list & share with folks.

    Prayers to all are affected by EC....

    Hi, Thanks so much about the
    Hi, Thanks so much about the information on the Ecan awareness kit. I received mine today.

    I am on a team for Relay For Life at the end of April. Our event is a big exciting one to raise funds for the fight against cancer. Hundreds of people will be attending and we will have a booth set up. I'm so happy, that with this kit, I can set up a table to draw attention to EC. People so need to be made aware of the prevention of this cancer.

    Thanks again,
    Sandra
