Governor Rendell & Awareness Opportunity

What I had previously referred to as a press conference with Governor Rendell turned out to be the taping of the WITF-PBS show Smart Talk with Governor Rendell as the guest. David Botero, along with Kevin Gibson (you’ll remember them both from the Hope in Handball fundraiser last year) were instrumental in orchestrating our presence at the taping. David and Kevin along with Lucille, Vicki & Rob, Jeff and I were members of the audience.

Although we were unable to make our presence known in the show, we were able to talk to many of the WITF staff, other members of the audience and pass out information, pins, and bracelets. Several of us were able to have brief conversations with Governor Rendell and give him the material as well. Hopefully we have planted a seed that will grow into even greater opportunities for creating awareness about carcinoid/NET cancers.

Many thanks to David and Kevin for their continued efforts to create awareness and bring attention to our cause and to Lucille, Vicki & Rob, and Jeff for being willing to join us with just a half days notice.
