“Let’s Rock” Meso Awareness Day - RADIO CAMPAIGN

Mesothelioma Awareness Day is September 26^th! We need your help to get the word out. Please join our radio campaign designed to bring awareness to mesothelioma. Between now and September 26^th you can help contact radio stations and get as many of them to play Warren Zevon’s music followed by a 20 second bumper about mesothelioma. Warren Zevon was a legendary singer/songwriter who died of meso in September 2003.

Warren wrote and recorded hundreds of songs such as “Poor Poor Pitiful Me,” “Hasten Down the Wind,” and “Carmelita.” He scored his biggest hit with the 1978 album “Excitable Boy,” which contained the top-20 single “Werewolves of London.” Following in his footsteps is his son Jordan Zevon who is quickly becoming a well know recording artist himself. Jordan has been working very closely with the Foundation to raise awareness and has recorded a bumper for radio stations to use if they wish to. You can download the bumper at www.jordanzevon.com/meso.
