BITE OUT OF CANCER

By Larry Scheetz

On October 17, 2021, the Larry & Cathy Scheetz Lung Cancer Foundation (LC2 Foundation) hosted its Inaugural Take a Bite Out of Cancer 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk at Peace Valley Park in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The inaugural event was a fantastic success with over 100 participants, volunteers and spectators. The weather was absolutely perfect and the race festivities began at 7:30 a.m. and continued on to a post-race celebration with live music, food, drinks and lots of laughter well into the early evening.

The mission of the LC2 Foundation is to raise awareness about the importance of early

detection for all forms of cancer, celebrate survivors and those who lost their lives to cancer, and to raise donations to help local families struggling with the financial burdens associated with fighting this disease. This year’s event certainly accomplished its mission.

The words lung scans, mammograms, colonoscopies and prostate exams were mentioned on numerous occasions throughout the day. There were many stories of courageous cancer survivors, several of whom participated in the run/walk, and numerous shared memories of loved ones taken too soon. The generosity and support of so many of the participants, sponsors and members of the Bucks County Bar Association enabled the LC2 Foundation to raise over $30,000.00 for local families. Most importantly, the day was filled with love, laughter and hope for a cancer-free tomorrow.

The Larry & Cathy Scheetz Lung Cancer Foundation was established in honor of Larry & Cathy Scheetz, who both passed away from lung cancer that could have been

prevented with proper screening and early detection protocols. The Foundation is managed and run by Larry & Cathy Scheetz’s children and seven grandchildren. The pride and love they felt from everyone’s participation, generosity and support cannot be measured and their gratitude is infinite. They are sure that their parents/grandparents were smiling down on the event, especially when the grandchildren held the flag for the National Anthem prior to the start of the race. It was a loving tribute and special day for all.

Please consider participating in the event next year, making a donation, and joining the LC2 Foundation’s next event at the Green Parrott in Newtown, Pennsylvania on January 9, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. 

“The OPPOSITE of what gives ATTORNEYS a bad name.”

In the stack of notes of appreciation I have accumulated over 28 years, none stands out to me as much as the client who said, “You’re the opposite of what gives attorneys a bad name.” What is it about our profession that seems to equate being a zealous advocate with being obnoxious? Knowing that you can refer your personal injury cases to any rm that pays a referral fee, why not look to a rm that will re ect well on your recommendation? For almost three decades, other attorneys and physicians have referred their own family members to me to handle their personal injury claims. You don’t take that kind of trust lightly. Having resolved over 1500 personal injury cases, my hope remains to provide the type of legal service which warrants the continued respect and recommendation of fellow professionals. Let me know how I can help you.
