First I want to start by sharing my gratitude… to you… yes YOU as you read this! I am astounded how many of you have participated and donated to Team DD in support of lung cancer and lung health year after year, SO I want to start by thanking you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you know how grateful I am to each of you for your generosity and love. We have carried on the legacy of my grandmother, Doris Dooyema, and all your loved ones, together as a force for change.

I made a promise to my grandmother, that I would continue on her fight and honor the life she bravely fought for. I wish I could tell her now, 7 years later, how our team continues to grow and give, and that TOGETHER we have raised almost $150,000! I know her story has helped save lives, brought some comfort to those who have also a loved one, and continues to educate people on lung cancer for nonsmokers and the deadly effects of radon. I know some of you may be new to my initiative and fight, so I encourage you to PLEASE take a moment and read my grandmother’s story below… it can save a life!

I am invigorated as we start another year of fundraising. Seeing the work we have done together even in the midst of a global pandemic encouraged me as I set our Team DD goal for this #FightForAirClimb of $20,007!!! I know that together we can raise awareness and funds that are so needed at this time.
