A Survivor at Every Rink: Los Angeles Kings

Los Angeles, CALung cancer survivor Missy Petersen will be joined by her husband and two kids as the LA Kings host the Phoenix Coyotes at the Staples Center on their annual Hockey Fights Cancer night.  Missy has been able to benefit from new personalize treatments for lung cancer, and as a mother, wife and survivor in her 40’s, she is changing the face of lung cancer everyday. 

 

Missy and her family are attending the LA Kings game as a part of Team Draft's "A Survivor Every Rink" program, which is committed to creating a unique experience for the survivors and to raise awareness on a local, national, and international level by using each game and each survivor’s story to weave a broader narrative about the state of lung cancer and the hope that now exists for those battling the disease.

 

Special thanks to the NHL, Los Angeles Kings, and Lung Cancer Foundation of America for joining forces with Team Draft to make this experience possible.
