I sent out this email to many of my friends and family.  I want to reach as many people as possible so I'm going to post it here as well.  Cancer is on my mind because of a tender family situation, and I know how devastating it is.  I just want everyone to protect themselves and their loved ones in every way possible, so here's my 'Radon' email.  Please read!

Judson and I recently had our home tested for radon after I saw a news program on ksl talking about high concentrations of radon in Utah.  We were 2 1/2 times over the safe limit.  We are having a radon removal system installed next week.  Because I love you guys, I wanted to encourage you to get your homes tested.  Radon is dangerous, it is the #1 cause for lung cancer among non-smokers.  The following is a link to the utah government website that talks about the epa grant given to Utah to help it's residents get testing done for a very small amount.  It only costs $7.00, including shipping, lab fee, and test kit.  They will send you the kit and it has instructions for administering the test, and then you send it back to them and they do the lab work and send you the results within a week or two.  The removal system we are having installed is around $1300.  A small price to pay for peace of mind.

Here's the link http://www.radon.utah.gov/  To order the test look on the right side of the webpage.

Love,

Marisa
