Thank you for visiting my page. I'm here to make a difference in the lives of people impacted by lung cancer and lung disease.
For those of you who don't know why this is so important to me my father Albert Riccio, was diagnosed in September 2022 with Stage IVB non-small cell lung cancer, this type of cancer is very aggressive, it spread from his lungs to his spine and also to his brain, he was given about 6 months and passed in March of 2022. Watching the ones you love disappear in front of you is the worst thing to witness its unfair cancer is unfair. We would give anything to have him here with us but in his passing he left my mother with her life, because of his illness it sparked awareness into this awful disease and forced my mom go for early testing because of that we were able to catch her cancer at stage 3b & which has given her enough time to not only fight but kick cancers butt!
I now realize how important knowledge is for lung disease and how early detection is life saving and that is why my team and I walk. We walk for my family and for all those who have lost family or are fighting with there family.
