CRANBURY, N.J., Sept. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CURE Media Group, the industry-leading multimedia platform devoted to cancer updates, research and education that reaches over 1 million patients, survivors and caregivers, is delighted to announce the winners of the 2021 Lung Cancer Heroes® awards program.
Heidi Nafman-Onda, a lung cancer survivor from Denver, Colorado. After noting the lack of initiatives from cancer centers across the country to advance Lung Cancer Awareness Month in November 2020, Heidi's husband made her a large wooden white ribbon, which marked the beginning of The White Ribbon Project, directed by Heidi. Today, there are nearly 1,000 white ribbons across the globe that have ignited positive change, made a significant impact in the lives of many, and formed a community of survivors, researchers, physicians, and clinicians. The White Ribbon Project has helped provide direct access to information, resources, and empowerment in the lung cancer community.
