Stories of Hope: Meet Heidi [Please Donate Now]( [American Cancer Society]( [DONATE]( Dear {NAME}, When Heidi entered her fifties, she was the picture of health. She led a very active life, devoted to wellness and fitness. But at age 55, she got a phone call that changed her life forever: Heidi was diagnosed with stage III lung cancer. Heidi's tumor was said to be inoperable, so surgery was not an option. But when she met with her oncologist, Heidi was given the sliver of hope she needed. There was a new immunotherapy treatment that had recently been FDA approved just about a month before her diagnosis. Because of supporters like you, the American Cancer Society has helped make possible almost every major cancer breakthrough since 1946. Your support is vital to helping us provide programs that bring more hope to people with cancer, their caregivers, and cancer survivors. [Heidi, cancer survivor]( Five years after her diagnosis, Heidi is living life to the fullest. She and her husband are preparing to take the trip of a lifetime to Italy – something that has been on their bucket list. Heidi hasn’t had any cancer treatments since January 2020 and has no evidence of disease today. She has become actively involved with the American Cancer Society and recently shared her story at its National Lung Cancer Roundtable annual meeting. As we get ready to mark National Cancer Survivors Month this June, we’re celebrating survivors like Heidi – and redoubling our commitment to making more survivor stories possible. {NAME}, want to be the first to know about the impact your support makes, how you can get involved, and more?
