February, 2025 marks 20 years since my first lung cancer surgery—a deeply personal journey shaped by three diagnoses and shared experiences with five of my family members. Of the six of us who faced this disease, four are no longer with us. Their courage and spirit continue to inspire me every day.

This milestone is not just about my journey but a tribute to the lives and legacies of those we’ve lost. It’s a reflection of love, resilience, and the determination to fight for a future where more families can have hope. As I look back on all we’ve been through, I am more committed than ever to making this anniversary meaningful.

I invite you to stand with me in raising $20,000 for LUNGevity to fund lung cancer research and revolutionize patient care. Your contribution is more than a gift—it’s a tribute to those we’ve lost and a promise to those still facing this disease. Together, we can create a legacy of hope, strength, and healing for all affected by lung cancer.

Let’s make this a moment of remembrance, courage, and progress—because every step forward brings us closer to a cure. Donate today to help change the future of lung cancer!  

With gratitude, Terri Ann
