Today, I had the honor of addressing the 5th grade graduating class of Embassy Creek Elementary school in Cooper City Florida. This young superstar won the school's Legacy Award, designed to build social and environmental awareness and support. Lucas de los Santos wrote a well informed and passionate submission citing how LUNGevity through research and support, was able to help his Grandpa and many many other people diagnosed by lung cancer. He was so excited to hand me the big check and I was humbled and honored to address this brilliant young man and his class of 200 graduates. Congratulations to all of the wonderful faculty and administration at Embassy Creek Elementary who are reinforcing the importance of social and environmental awareness and support and THANK YOU LUCAS!
