New community on Facebook
|
| Losing a loved one to lung cancer is unfair and difficult. It's also a specific experience that is hard to understand if you haven't been through it. This newly created group is a place for supporting each other, sharing memories of our loved ones, and connecting with others who have been on a similar journey. Our newest board member, Matt Cipriani, who lost his wife Jen to lung cancer, moderates this online group. |
