Team Draft will visit the National Cancer Institute and meet with doctors and lung cancer patients. 

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is one of 11 agencies that compose the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).  The National Cancer Institute coordinates the National Cancer Program, which conducts and supports research, training, health information dissemination, and other programs with respect to the cause, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancer, rehabilitation from cancer, and the continuing care of cancer patients and the families of cancer patients.

Team Draft, an initiative of the Chris Draft Family Foundation, and the Partnership are committed to raising lung cancer awareness and increasing crucially needed research funding by shattering the misconception that lung cancer is a “smoker’s disease.”
