A special thanks to UK HealthCare Markey Cancer Center for the large wall mural that was placed in the Bluegrass Airport recognizing our organization, Breath of Hope KY, and the work we do to raise awareness about lung cancer in the community and emphasizing the importance of early detection. Lindi is currently being treated at the Markey Cancer Center and is grateful they chose her story to highlight in this public way.

Lindi Campbell, President of Breath of Hope KY, receives the Timothy W. Mullett, MD 2020 Lung Cancer Prevention Award. It is in honor of her “leadership, devotion, and passion toward preventing lung cancer through education, advocacy, or policy change in tobacco and/or radon control, lung cancer screening and other lung cancer prevention activities.”

Lindi Campbell, founder of Breath of Hope KY, was chosen as the 2020 Survivor Honoree and Speaker for the Purses, Pouts and Pearls event for the American Cancer Society. Lindi spoke in person in front of a small, limited crowd at the Origin Hotel during a watch party. In attendance were friends and supporters of her advocacy, including two fellow Kentucky lung cancer survivors, Leah and Elizabeth. Both women are much younger than Lindi and both are living with stage IV lung cancer. Lindi has become close friends with several survivors through her journey to build a lung cancer community in Kentucky. During the event she addressed the small crowd as well as to several hundred others attending the event remotely due to COVID-19.
