Susan L. DeWitt - A Very Courageous Woman

Today's post is courtesy of WhyIHateSmoking.com. So far, I've been featuring celebrities, actors, musicians, etc. who've died too soon, but after reading the post below, I realized that this blog can be so much more. There are everyday people just like you and me who are dying way too soon. Their lives should be celebrated just as much and sometimes more than celebrities. The post below is about a very courageous woman named Susan L. DeWitt. I've received permission from WhyIHateSmoking.com to publish the entire post as found here, so I'll let them tell you about her.

You know, I started this blog because I didn't like smoking and wanted to share the reasons why in hopes that some smokers would stop. What has happened now after a year is I truly do want to help people quit smoking for themselves and their families. I want you to watch the three videos below, and unless you are a robot, they have to affect you. Susan L. DeWitt was a beautiful woman who was a mother to a wonderful family and a devoted wife to her husband. At only 39 years of age, she was diagnosed with type IV lung cancer, which is basically a death sentence. She decided the moment she was diagnosed that she was going to start a foundation to help others stop smoking before it's too late. Susan was one heroic woman.

Don't let your life get cut short because of smoking. Stop now. Lung cancer is not a pleasant way to die. It's a very painful and slow death. That is not the way anyone wants to die, but if you choose to smoke, there's a better than average chance that's how you're going to die. For your kid's sake... For your husband/wife's sake... and most importantly, for your own sake, decide today to quit. If you'd like to donate to the Susan L. DeWitt Foundation for Extended Breath, visit their website at SusanLDeWitt.com.
