A golfer prepares to strike the ball at Eastmoreland Golf Club.
Years ago before lung cancer claimed my mom's life she visited my family in Oregon. She was in her late 50's and had been a lifelong smoker. We were in downtown Portland, Oregon showing her around. I can recall vividly how she struggled to walk up sloped hills, breathing heavily and moving slowly for someone her age. I expect the young woman in this photo will experience the same problems down the road.
