Dear friends and family,
As many of you know, I'm a stage 4 ROS1+ lung cancer survivor - now in year two of this unexpected journey. Only about 1 % of all lung cancer patients have this rare mutation, but research for us helps ALL lung cancer patients!
Last year, with your generosity, we helped fund critical research aimed at improving outcomes and extending lives for those facing this deadly disease. All ROS1ders are so grateful for your support.
This year, that need is even more urgent. Most of the government grants for lung cancer research have been cut or cancelled, leaving vital projects without the funding they need to continue. These studies aren't just numbers or lab work, they represent hope for better treatments, earlier detection, and more time for patients and families.
I am asking again for your support - whether that's a donation, a share, or simply helping to spread the word. Every bit truly matters and moves us closer to breakthroughs that save lives.
If you've ever wondered whether your help makes a difference - it absolutely does! I'm living proof of the progress that research makes possible.
THANK YOU for standing with me, and with everyone fighting lung cancer.
With gratitude and hope,
Verena
