Alisa Brenes, New York Lung Cancer Survivor

I would like to thank Team Draft and Commissioner Goodell for inviting me as their guest to help bring awareness to the fight against lung cancer.  As a single mother of twin sons, a survivor of lung cancer and as one who lost my mother, grandfather and aunts and uncles and too many friends to name to lung cancer, I am honored to participate in this important event with Team Draft and Gang Green.  We are changing the face of lung cancer, one game at a time … Thank you!!!

In 2012, we, Team Draft, launched our inaugural Survivor Series initiative on CNN during a nationally-televised prime time special focusing on lung cancer and our National Campaign to Change the Face of Lung Cancer.

Our Survivor at Every Stadium, leverages our connections with the NFL, its teams and players with our relationships with many of the top cancer centers in the country. As a part of our International Campaign, the games allow us to celebrate our survivors, raise lung cancer awareness, and give hope to those battling the disease, as well as shine a light on the important work being done at cancer research and treatment centers around the country.
