2007: Lauren Terrazzano, Newsday

Newsday writer Lauren Terrazzano received the 2007 "Joanie Award" for excellence in journalism related to lung cancer.

Ms. Terrazzano won the "Joanie Award" for her series in Newsday, “Life with Cancer.” Writing about her own experiences as a lung cancer patient, of cancer patients overall, and of the marketing and research environment around lung cancer, her work is an excellent representation of the type of journalism that the Foundation fosters.

"Through her efforts, the lung cancer community has been represented by a brilliant, honest voice, and the broader community has been educated on issues of relevance to us all," said Susan C. Mantel, Executive Director.
