If I could cure one disease it would be lung cancer. I would want to be able to cure this disease because my grandma is dying from it and if i could do anything in my power to help cure her i would. Here are some facts about lung cancer.
1. Lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in both men and women in the United States. In 1987, it surpassed breast cancer to become the leading cause of cancer deaths in women.
2.Lung cancer causes more deaths than the next three most common cancers combined (colon, breast and prostate). An estimated 160,340 Americans were expected to die from lung cancer in 2012, accounting for approximately 28 percent of all cancer deaths.
3. The number of deaths due to lung cancer has increased approximately 4.3 percent between 1999 and 2008 from 152,156 to 158,656. The number of deaths among men has reached a plateau but the number is still rising among women. In 2006, there were 88,586 deaths due to lung cancer in men and 70,070 in women.
4.The age-adjusted death rate for lung cancer is higher for men (63.6 per 100,000 persons) than for women (39.0 per 100,000 persons). It also is higher for Blacks (53.4 per 100,000 persons) compared to Whites (50.2 per 100,000 persons). Black men have a far higher age-adjusted lung cancer death rate than White men, while Black and White women have similar rates.

I think that a night in Hawaii is the best dessert dance idea because who doesn't like Hawaii and everything to do with it. I think that by having this as an idea it will lift the moods of all of the students, because there is just something about Hawaii that is very pleasing and relaxing. This picture below displays my ideas for props and decorations for the dance. For the photo booth i would like to see it decorated in palm trees and tiki's. I believe that by putting these on the photo booth it will really just make the students feel like they are actually in Hawaii. I have many decorations from a past Hawaii party that i had in the past and I would be more than happy to donate these items to the school. I believe that if this idea falls through it will be so much fun and i am so excited to see how this will turn out.

Mike Trout is as of right now is batting .241 and has a .343 on base percentage. He bats and throws right handed. Mike Trout is from Vineland, New Jersey and lived there his whole life before entering the big leagues. He has been in the league for 2 years but i believe that he has the potential to be one of the best players to ever play the game. With his hitting and fielding skills at work he should have a great career.
