My name is Lori Palermo from Gouldsboro, Pennsylvania,USA. On 26 December 2003 my dad passed away after a 13 year battle with COPD/Emphysema. Since my dads death I have become an Advocate For Lung Disease Awareness & Smokefree Living. In June 2006 on Father's Day, I launched my own website In Memory of my dad.
I would like your permission to add your blog to my website. On my "Family Sharing" page, I share websites and blogs from COPD patients. Since I am also an Advocate for Smokefree Living, I believe your blog would be of great interest to members of my site.
Thank you for your time,
Lori Palermo
