Team Draft - created by @ChrisDraft and Keasha Rutledge Draft! We are empowering survivors to live longer and live stronger by changing the face of #lungcancer.
My friend @GinaHollenbeck was a fierce #lungcancer advocate—kind, smart, funny, and unafraid to challenge her own narrative.
In her powerful @IASLC#WCLC2021 talk, Gina explains why she stopped leading her story with “I didn’t smoke.” While many feel this pushes back against #stigma, she realized the binary approach of 'guilt and innocence' slows progress and perpetuates a harmful narrative that is profound and far-reaching.
Using the stigma to try to erase it only continues to label us, reduce our humanity, and our identity becomes a single story. Let's talk about RISK FACTORS. That's when people ask questions and listen!
Since Dana Reeve’s diagnosis, I’ve seen how focusing only on people who “never smoked” divides our community and completely erases the person behind the disease. The truth is simple: NO ONE earns lung cancer, and NO ONE deserves it.
Gina's message calls us back to compassion, understanding, and respect. Please listen and help change the conversation. https://t.co/GkbK6XCQ5y

We are so excited to share that we have received a proclamation from the Governor of Colorado! We appreciate the support of Governor Jared Polis as well as all the lung cancer advocates, including @TheWRP4LC, for their support for raising #lungcancerawareness in Colorado
On #VeteransDay, we gathered to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who serve our country—thank you to all #veterans for your bravery & strength. As we work toward making a difference in communities, we're reminded of the importance of coming together for causes that matter.
I was a little surprised at how bold I was. Calling out oncologists and systemic issues. The reality is though that lung cancer patients are worth it. Thanks for this amazing opportunity. #LungCancerAwarenessMonth
Amazing job to the @ucla_alcsi team for their recent White Ribbon Build! UCLA ALCSI members were able to educate the 150+ students who participated in the WRB about #lungcancer and #lungcancerscreening! Great work!
Please join our founders Heidi & Pierre Onda Sunday, September 22nd at the GO2 for Lung Cancer 5K Walk/Run. Details below. They are excited to meet the San Francisco community and give The White Ribbon Project ribbons to those who would like one!
