Cancer is a major problem in the United States. Cancer is a deadly disease that can kill you or cause you a lot of pain. I am proposing to Dr. Graham that our school should take part in the fight against Cancer by raising awareness of the disease. We can help all the men, women and children in the world that are suffering from cancer. People that have gone through having cancer are just glad that it is gone. There are many ways that you can get cancer one of the main ways you can get cancer is by smoking. When you smoke and get cancer you usually get it in the throat up to the mouth area.

On April 3 of every year all of the students and faculty at Lufkin Road Middle School should wear green. This will raise awareness of this deadly disease to all the people at LRMS. With Dr. Graham’s permission I will start a fundraiser to raise money for cancer research. In addition, we will request that all students and faculty at Lufkin Middle donate a few dollars to try to find a cure for cancer. We have approximately nine hundred students and teachers combined, if everyone donates around two dollar we could have one thousand and eight hundred dollars donated by our school.

Many people have died of cancer. Five hundred thousand forty seven people die of cancer in the United States every year. One thousand five hundred die every day of cancer that is a lot of people that are dying at that quick rate. If we donate money and wear green shirts it will really show that we care about people that are suffering from cancer and we want to do something to help. It is possible that the money our school raises could be used to find the cure for cancer. If there is a cure found for cancer the death rate will go down so we are not stuck with the major disease of cancer.
