Changing the Face of Lung Cancer | Chris Draft | TEDxBerkshires

In this TEDx Berkshires talk, former NFL player and Stanford University graduate Chris Draft shares the story about losing his wife Keasha to Lung Cancer, and his on-going fight to change attitudes and perceptions regarding Lung Cancer awareness, screening, and prevention by asking the question: What kind of Lung Cancer Community do we want to be? Chris Draft is the Founder, President, and CEO of the Chris Draft Family Foundation (CDFF) whose mission has been to empower families to lead healthy lifestyles. He is also the Co-Founder of Team Draft, leading the creation of a national campaign that is changing the face of lung cancer. He is an internationally recognized speaker, community leader, and family and character advocate who serves as an NFL Ambassador and a national spokesperson on many health-related issues, including the care and treatment of asthma, from which he suffers, and lung cancer, the disease that claimed the life of his wife, Keasha in 2011. In 2006, while with the Carolina Panthers, Chris established the Chris Draft Family Foundation, which focuses on several primary initiatives that stress the importance of family, education, healthy lifestyles, character development, personal responsibility, self-discipline, and physical fitness. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
