Lung Association Asks for Award Nominations


2007 Shining Example Award Given in Honor of Bill Peterson

13 WHAM reported last night that the Rochester Lung Association is seeking nominations from the public for possible recipients of the 2007 Shining Example Award. Named after former 13 WHAM Chief Meteorologist Bill Peterson, who passed away in August 2006 after a decades long battle with lung disease, heart disease and cancer, the award seeks to honor those who, like Peterson, battle the lung disease with determination while continuing to give back to their community. The deadline for nominations is February 16th and the award will be presented at the Lung Association's "Blow the Whistle on Asthma" kick-off ceremony on March 14th. Those who wish to nominate, or are in need of more information, can visit http://www.mrsnv.com/evt/info.jsp?id=1289 or the 13 WHAM website for further details.
