ROANOKE KOMEN VOLUNTEERS LOBBY ON CAPITOL HILL
Sharon Rapoport and volunteer Kelly Dill had meetings with several staffers for Virginia lawmakers, including Senator Jim Webb and Representatives Bob Goodlatte, Virgil Goode, Frank Wolf and Rob Wittman. "Our job was to educate them on the upcoming bi-partisan Kennedy-Hutchison bill, which proposes landmark legislation in the war against cancer."	Kelly Dill and Ricardo Chavira Celebrities were on hand to help get the message out for Susan G. Komen's national Lobby Day. Roanoker Kelly Dill had her photo taken with Ricardo Chavira, who plays 'Carlos' on Desperate Housewives. His mother died of breast cancer when he was a teenager, and his speech on capitol hill was very moving.
