SUMMARY:Vikings Welcome Lung Cancer Survivor-Advocate Linda Wortman
DESCRIPTION:Minneapolis\, MN – Mayo Clinic lung cancer survivor-advocate Linda Wortman will represent Team Draft in Minneapolis\, MN. The Wortmans will watch the Minnesota Vikings take on the Atlanta Falcons at the University of Minnesota TCF Bank Stadium.  \nThis Sunday’s game is just the latest in Team Draft’s Survivor at Every Stadium initiative. Working with teams throughout the NFL\, Team Draft is leading this national effort to have lung cancer survivors\, researchers and doctors attend games across the country. As part of Team Draft’s National Campaign to Change the Face of Lung Cancer\, the Survivor at Every Stadium initiative is designed to raise awareness\, give hope to those battling the disease\, and shine a light on the important work being done at cancer research and treatment centers around the country.  \nTeam Draft\, an initiative of the Chris Draft Family Foundation\, is dedicated to raising lung cancer awareness and increasing badly needed research funding by shattering the misconception that lung cancer is a “smoker’s disease.” The fact is\, anybody can get lung cancer. Yet\, despite the fact that between 20\,000 and 30\,000 people who have never smoked—including Keasha and Linda—are diagnosed with lung cancer in the United States each year\, the smoking stigma negatively impacts lung cancer research funding\, which pales in comparison to funding for other major cancers and diseases. Team Draft is out to change all that. “If we can take away the stigma that says you have to be a smoker to get lung cancer\, we have a real chance to educate people about the true nature of the disease\,” explains Draft. \nSince Chris and Keasha launched Team Draft at their wedding in November of 2011\, Team Draft has been on a mission to tackle cancer. Team Draft’s national campaign to raise public awareness and share the hope that now exists for those diagnosed with the disease has taken it to over 100 of the top cancer research and treatment facilities in North America. \n“Our hope is not only to positively impact research funding\, but to improve the quality of life for those affected by lung cancer\,” says Draft. “We aren’t fighting against lung cancer\, we’re fighting for people. That’s why we are leading this national campaign to change the face of lung cancer.” \nThe Facts About Lung Cancer\nFor decades\, the facts regarding lung cancer have been sobering:\n• Anyone can get lung cancer.\n• Over 60% of lung cancers are diagnosed in people who never smoked or in former smokers.1\n• Lung cancer surpassed breast cancer as the #1 cancer killer for women in 1987.2\n• Lung cancer kills more people than any other cancer3\n\, and takes more lives than breast\, cervical\, and prostate cancers . . . combined.\n4\n• The five year survival rate for lung cancer is just 16%—a rate that has changed very little since\nthe 1970’s.5 \nBut now there is HOPE! The use of state-of-the-art lung cancer screening techniques is reducing mortality rates by 20% in some patient groups6 while cutting-edge team-based\, multidisciplinary treatment procedures are improving the quality of life for lung cancer patients across the country. And thanks to advances in molecular tumor mutation testing\, researchers and treating physicians are developing effective personal lung cancer treatments designed to extent and\, ultimately\, save lives.7 The key to making even greater strides is funding\, but funding for lung cancer research is impacted by the “smoker’s disease” stigma.8 That’s why Team Draft is campaigning to change the face of lung cancer. \nAbout The Chris Draft Family Foundation and Team Draft\nThe Chris Draft Family Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to strengthening communities by empowering families to live healthy lifestyles. The Foundation focuses on several initiatives with overarching themes that stress the importance of education\, healthy lifestyles\, character development\, personal responsibility\, self-discipline and physical fitness.
