Lung cancer survivor-advocate Kim Ringen was the top fundraiser in Team Draft's Lung Cancer Survivors Super Bowl Challenge. Kim and her husband, Davin, will represent Team Draft at Super Bowl 50 and the 25th annual Taste of the NFL the first weekend in February.

"Having the opportunity to be apart of the Lung Cancer Super Bowl challenge has been a fun and exciting experience. It is about spreading awareness about this beast of a disease...and the cherry on top is to be in the stands of the biggest football game of the year!!"

Lung cancer survivor Kathy Weber was the first runner-up in Team Draft's Lung Cancer Survivors Super Bowl Challenge. Kathy and her family will spend a few days in Hawaii and watch the NFL Pro Bowl at Aloha Stadium on January 31, 2016.

"I am humbled and grateful to the IASLC, the Team Draft 2016 Super Bowl Challenge, and all those who sponsored me with donations. As the second place fundraiser, my family and I have won a trip to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii! Amazing!"

The Super Bowl Challenge participants were part of a friendly competition, with Kim, Kathy and Elizabeth awarded trips to Super Bowl 50, the NFL Pro-Bowl and the Taste of the NFL. The winners, announced on January 4, 2016, will have an opportunity to share their powerful stories with key individuals with influence from across the country.

The survivors that raise over $1,000 can designate a beneficiary for 50% of their funds raised.

All of the participants will be able to continue raising funds until the Super Bowl, February 7, 2016.

Team Draft was founded by NFL veteran Linebacker Chris Draft and his late wife Keasha, an engineer and Clemson graduate who died of lung cancer at the age of 38.

“Super Bowl and Pro Bowl week are a fitting time to spotlight the crusade to change the face of lung cancer. The level of commitment, drive and passion required to make it this far parallels the efforts required to get lung cancer research to the next level,” said Chris Draft who co-founded Team Draft with his late wife Keasha to change the face of lung cancer.

Keasha and Chris Draft had attended the Super Bowl the year of her diagnosis, fulfilling one of her lifelong dreams. The memory of that Super Bowl trip served as part of the inspiration for The Super Bowl Challenge. “It takes a team to tackle lung cancer, and the Super Bowl Challenge has expanded this amazing team. Keasha’s legacy of hope lives on through the Super Bowl Challenge team and we are grateful to all who have contributed and continue to contribute to lung cancer awareness, research, treatment and patient advocacy efforts, and “said Draft.  “We are excited to have the opportunity to take this year’s Super Bowl Challenge winners and their stories to the Super Bowl the Pro-Bowl and the Taste of the NFL.”
