Jill Costello:  Wave and Wake

Please take about eight minutes out of your day and watch this powerful video.
Share it with your friends and family.

10/18/12 UPDATE:  ESPN has removed the video from the web.
You can learn about Jill in this excellent Sports Illustrated article:

Jill's Legacy is an Advisory Board to the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation (of which we are a proud affiliate) made up of promising young professionals who have each been personally touched by Lung Cancer.

The Board has been called Jill's Legacy in memory of 22-year-old college student and athlete at U.C. Berkeley, Jillian Costello, who lost her battle with Lung Cancer in June of 2010, just one year after being diagnosed.

With its oldest member just 24, this Board of empowered young adults is largely made up of Jill's closest friends and loved ones.

The group's mission is simple: to be the driving force in significantly increasing the stagnant 15.5% survival rate of the world's number one cancer killer- Lung Cancer.

Many people don't know that Lung Cancer is the biggest cancer killer but still the least funded. It kills more people than breast, colon, liver, melanoma and kidney cancers combined. And, for every $9 spent on Breast Cancer research, $1 is spent on Lung Cancer in the U.S. 

Much of this is due to the stigma associated with Lung Cancer  - that it is a smoker's disease. This is not the case! In fact, 60% of newly diagnosed Lung Cancer patients either never smoked or quit smoking decades ago.
