On September 5, 2017 just 7 months after his initial diagnosis I lost the love of my life and my best friend to lung cancer. My husband Rob was loved by everyone. He had a huge personality and a zest for life. He was a dedicated father who adored his girls more than anything. He was a loyal and loving husband. He was there for every family member and friend that needed him. He simply loved people and passionately embraced life until his last breath.
Every year my family gathers to participate in the lung force walk in honor of my husband. Our team is called "Uncle Buck Strong". My husband was endearingly referred to as Uncle Buck by his nieces and nephews who created wrist bands for him during his illness with the words "uncle buck strong" on them to show their solidarity and support.
We are asking friends and family to join us in this fight. When you join the American Lung Association and LUNG FORCE, you support research innovation that will lead to early detection for all and better treatments that give everyone a fighting chance. Your donation will help make a difference in the lives that desperately need it.
To support my efforts, and to help save lives today, please donate now.
We will stand together for lung health and against lung cancer!
