This is team Strong4Jon/Heros4Higa 4th year doing the Lung force walk! My name is Lauren Emerick, I am the team captain and Jon's 19 year old daughter. My dad got diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer in 2016 and unfortunately passed away in May of 2019. His best friend and work partner, Randy Higa also was diagnosed with Lung Cancer shortly after my dad passed away. I feel blessed to say that Randy is a Lung Cancer survivor. Our team has raised over $75,000 is the past 4 years (doing the walks and participating in reach the beach!) I walk and raise money to support my dad, he is my hero and my family and I miss him everyday. That man was one of a kind and I was so thankful to call him my dad. Please consider donating to our team, it would mean the world to my family and I and all the donations go towards finding a cure to Lung Cancer. Thank you all so much.
