LOL, Lainy! Shaving our heads? Hmmm…Maybe I would do it and send it Kris’ direction. Although, I doubt she’d want my hair. It’s rather damaged right now.
If anyone has any suggestions on what to do this month, please let us know. We’re doing a soft launch this year just based on the timing aspect. However, we can make some things happen fairly quickly, so please let us know if you have any thoughts on what we could do to help raise awareness.

Those are fightin’ words, Pam!
Actually, I love the pulled pork in North Carolina. If you are ever in Texas, please let me know. I’d love to have you over for some smoked brisket!Hi there Joyce.

I like February, and – I had a pulled pork sandwich for dinner last night! Delicious.
Lainy – I’ve forgotten – did we ever send those letters on to Ellen, after you tried Oprah??

Thank you, Jolene for bringing awareness to your local cancer center. Your kindness of leaving the brochures will help someone else touched by this disease. How is your Mom doing?
Best wishes,
MarionI like the idea of February as CC awareness month.
Last week when I brought mom in to see the onc at our local cancer center, they remembered my dad was a patient there. They thought pancreatic cancer, but I reminded them it was cholangiocarcinoma. They replied, “that’s right. should’ve remembered, we don’t get many of that cancer.” I told them about this foundation, and left a few brochures with them. I hope that if/when they check in, they notice we have an awareness month, and read all the amazing stories left here.It only takes a spark to get a fire going…

Pam…I would love that. What a nice thought. I don’t think that I can make it for the BBQ however, some day there will be a conference for me to attend in your area. I can’t wait.
Best,
MarionI invite everyone (and especially Kris) to North Carolina for BBQ. Lexington, NC is the barbeque capital of the world…lol

Hi Sara,
I noticed that yesterday and it looks good indeed! My thanks to you, Rick and everyone else for all that you do.
Best wishes,
Gavin
I think it is a sandwich piled high with tender shredded pork soak in BBQ Sauce. I’ll have some too!
