Our Greek member organisation, Fairlife LCC, has launched an awareness campaign – “Ask the right question” about lung cancer- to highlight the smoking-related stigma that many people with lung cancer continue to encounter.
The campaign was first launched in Canada and Australia, and is now being run in Europe, in Greece, by FairLife LCC.
Personal testimony from son who lost father to lung cancer
Eric, who at the time was a middle-school student, lost his father Simon to lung cancer. Eric was just 12 years old, and Simon was 57.
Watch Eric’s video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74m0Z06hM9I&t=9s
Eric talks about his emotions, the injustice he feels about his loss and the importance of screening and access to clinical trials. He condemns the stigma related to smoking and the circle of guilt that afflicted both himself and his beloved father.
