When Sven de Jong’s wife, Elizabeth, was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2016, they made a commitment to share Elizabeth’s story to raise awareness about the disease. They attended GO2’s Lung Cancer Voices Summit for the first time in 2018 and felt empowered by sharing their story with their senators and representatives on Capitol Hill.  

When Elizabeth passed away in 2023, Sven understood it was important to continue having his (and Elizabeth’s) voice heard. He decided to continue sharing Elizabeth’s story to advocate for increased federal funding for lung cancer research.

Make your voice heard! Join Sven at this year’s Voices Summit.
