CURE® presents our readers with a unique opportunity each year to nominate a colleague, patient, friend and family of outstanding individuals working to end the stigma and make a difference in the lives of those affected by lung cancer. Together as one community, we can raise awareness of lung cancer, and most importantly, recognize and celebrate the esteemed individuals contributing to improving the lives of patients with lung cancer, our Lung Cancer Heroes®.
