Our personal message:
Our  father, Michael Jay Cousin, passed away of Lung Cancer Tuesday, March 25, 2008. He was diagnosed in October and died inside of six months. He was only 57.

My brother and I dedicate this page in memory of him. Dad, you are still with us. You are our number one fan and our hero. Your kindness, compassion, and humor touched everyone you met. You will live forever  through us and the people you touched. We are all grateful for knowing you. Thank you.

The thought of others losing a loved one to this devastating, undetectable disease is a crisis so in honor of our father we are raising money to benefit Lung Cancer Alliance.

Lung Cancer is the leading cancer killer in the United States.

Lung Cancer will kill more people this year then breast, prostate, colon, kidney, liver and melanoma cancers. More then 60% of all new Lung Cancer cases are being diagnosed in people who have never smoked or quit decades ago.

Lung Cancer continues to receive less then a tenth of funding per death provided to other major cancers and the five year survival rate has never exceeded 15%!  Please visit www.lungcanceralliance.org for additional facts.

Please help us raise awareness for this severely underfunded disease. With your support, we have an opportunity to help save thousands of lives.


Many thanks for your support,

Jillian (Cousin) Arnold and Stephen Cousin
