SUMMARY:Teri Kennedy Raised for the EGFR Resisters
DESCRIPTION:Thank you Team Draft for this opportunity to raise awareness about lung cancer\, allow survivors to tell their stories and be seen.  I have always been a football fan and a fighter and with Team TKO – “Teri Knocks Out lung cancer” I am doing everything I can to tackle this disease. ~  Teri Kennedy  \nSacramento\, CA. UC Davis lung cancer survivor Teri Kennedy asked Atlanta lung cancer survivor Patty Watkins to represent her at the 2018 NFL Pro Bowl in Orlando\, Florida on January 28\, 2018. Teri earned a trip to the NFL Pro Bowl by being the third highest fundraiser in our 2018 Lung Cancer Survivors Super Bowl Challenge. TEAM TKO – Knock out Lung Cancer will be able to continue to raise funds for the EGFR Resisters group until February 5\, 2018. \n \nI am a UC Davis lung cancer survivor\, and I have the EGFR mutation driving my lung cancer.   I have started with other survivors and some top clinicians in the field\, The EGFR Resisters\, to support those diagnosed with this particular form of lung cancer\, and push forward research and more treatment options.  The funds raised through The Super Bowl Challenge will go directly toward this goal.\n\nThank you Team Draft for this awesome opportunity to represent the EGFR Resisters.  ~ Read more about Teri Kennedy \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFounded by Draft and his late wife Keasha\, who died of lung cancer in 2011 at the age of 38\, Team Draft is dedicated to raising lung cancer awareness and increasing badly needed research funding through its Campaign To Change The Face Of Lung Cancer\, which is committed to shattering the misconception that lung cancer is a “smoker’s disease.” The centerpiece of Team Draft’s Campaign is its annual Lung Cancer Survivors Super Bowl Challenge. \nAs Draft explains\, “the Super Bowl Challenge gives us a unique opportunity to use the overwhelming media coverage surrounding the Super Bowl as a platform to raise critical public awareness about lung cancer on an international level.  With the game as a backdrop\, we can use each survivor’s story to weave a broader narrative about the state of lung cancer and the hope that now exists for those battling the disease.”  And Team Draft’s efforts are paying off. \n“The Super Bowl Challenge achieves amazing things in terms of public awareness and changing perceptions about lung cancer\,” says Dr. Ross Camidge\, the Director of Thoracic Oncology at Colorado University Cancer Center\, the cancer center where two of last year’s Super Bowl Challenge winners were treated. \nIn addition to raising critical public awareness\, the Super Bowl Challenge also raises funds for lung cancer organizations and treatment centers across North America.  Last year\, participants who raised more than $1\,000< during the Super Bowl Challenge were able to commit 50% of the funds they raised to a lung cancer organization or cancer center of their choice. \nThanks to the overwhelming success of our annual Super Bowl Challenge\, Team Draft is maintaining its commit to 50% if the survivors raise over $1\,000\, but if they raise over $5\,000\, their designated beneficiary will receive 80% with the remaining 20% going to support Team Draft’s mission to change the face of lung cancer. \nOf this aspect of the Super Bowl Challenge\, Dr. Camidge says\, “you need somebody working on the national level. You need somebody working on the local level. Everybody wins.” \nFor the survivors who participate\, the Super Bowl Challenge is so much more than just a fundraiser. \n“Team Draft has really helped boost our family’s spirits during this challenging time\,” says Dr. Lucy Kalanithi. In 2015\, Lucy and her husband\, Dr. Paul Kalanithi\, won Team Draft’s inaugural Super Bowl Challenge and were able to join Team Draft in Phoenix\, Arizona for Super Bowl 49.  Paul went on to write the bestselling memoir When Breath Becomes Air — a powerful and moving chronicle of his life and lung cancer journey — before passing away at the age of 37. \n2016 Super Bowl Challenge winner\, Kim Ringen says\, “As a lung cancer survivor\, I would highly recommend to anybody to put your hat in the ring because it is so uplifting to be associated with a group of people that are coming together to make a difference.” \nTo learn more about Team Draft’s 2018 Lung Cancer Survivors Super Bowl Challenge\, visit https://www.crowdrise.com/2018SuperBowlChallenge \nSpecial thanks to NFL\, Astra Zeneca\, and all of our Team Draft supporters for helping make this experience possible. \nAbout Team Draft\nTeam Draft\, an initiative of the Chris Draft Family Foundation\, is dedicated to raising lung cancer awareness and increasing research funding by shattering the misconception that lung cancer is a “smoker’s disease.”  Despite the fact that between 20\,000 and 30\,000 people who have never smoked are diagnosed with lung cancer in the United States each year\, the smoking stigma negatively impacts lung cancer research funding\, Team Draft is out to change all that.
