Nearing extinction, with only 15 Whooping Cranes left in 1948, people stepped in and helped, with the determination of many, now there are 400! I can't seem to find exact numbers of cancer deaths through the years but I can tell you approximately 1,400,000 people are diagnosed in the US each year. With a number like that just think about all the people involved in our fight against cancer. While I couldn't find exact numbers I could see there is a trend and each year there are more of us survivors! Determination pays off!

Great pics this morning. Love the whooping cranes. Pop over and see the link at the bottom about photos and protection. You need to read and protect images.
