Experience

1. Executive Director

   Livelung

   Jan 2010 — Present

   Dusty Joy Foundation (LiveLung) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving the lung cancer community. Our mission is advancing lung cancer education, early detection and compassion for people impacted by lung cancer. We host a network of educational patient groups both online and in person. We also provide resource bags, Hope Totes, to dozens of cancer centers where nurse navigators distribute them to newly diagnosed lung cancer patients. One of our programs is a grassroots campaign to raise lung cancer awareness. Everyone knows the #1 cause of lung cancer but few know the #2 cause of lung cancer so we also promote radon awareness and distribute free radon test kits in high-risk areas. We also serve the greater lung cancer community via a web portal for newly diagnosed patients and the nonprofits that support them.
