GO2’s Phone Buddy Program, first launched in the 1990s, is a peer-to-peer matching program that pairs people who have been diagnosed with lung cancer to share stories, hope, and wisdom with one another.  

As a GO2 Phone Buddy herself, Terri Conneran, founder of KRAS Kickers, knows the value of bringing community together and connecting people whenever possible. That’s why in April 2022, GO2 collaborated with KRAS Kickers to bring the Phone Buddy Program to more people within the KRAS Kickers community and beyond.  

If you or someone you know is interested in being matched with a Phone Buddy or volunteering as a Phone Buddy, please:
