Celebrity Campaign to Educate People About Lung Cancer Includes Sir Alex Ferguson
Ferguson, who saw his parents succumb to lung cancer when they were in their 60s, has reportedly joined celebrities like comedian Ricky Gervais, to help educate people about the early symptoms of the disease, which claims 35,000 lives in the UK every year.
"My father was 66 when he died and my mother was only 64 "Dad was diagnosed with lung cancer only a week after he retired and within 12 months it had killed him. Then my Mum, who had smoked all her life, was diagnosed with lung cancer as well and she passed away a few years after my Dad," the Scotsman quoted Ferguson, as saying.
"Anyone who has experienced lung cancer knows what a truly devastating disease it is and having lost both my parents to it, I sadly know better than most," he added.
