Today is World Lung Cancer Day 2025! Had to #ShowMyRibbon at @AtlantaFalcons training camp today! #lcsm

In 2012, the Carolina Panthers introduced the pre-game tradition of the Keep Pounding drum. If you're a @Panthers fan you know the history of that phrase and why we have the drum. When my mom was battling stage 4 Lung Cancer in 2013-2014 she adopted the Keep Pounding mantra (albeit, she kept saying "Keep On Pounding") during her fight and it became that much more important to me. In 2024 when I brought my brother with me to our annual pre-Christmas game home game, I watched as @dmcland72 was announced as the Drummer, an honor given to him as being our 2024 fan of the year. He pounded the hell out of that drum and I remember looking at my younger brother and saying: "Dude, it would be such an honor to be in that position one day, could you imagine?" Little did we know that a year later I would be named Carolina Panthers 2025 Fan of the Year. The FIRST words out of my mouth when the team surprised me with the news that I was FOTY and going to the super bowl was: "Does this mean I can Pound the Drum?!" ...Not "OMG Im going to the super bowl" or anything else... The first question I asked in the heat of the moment was "Can I pound the drum?" It means that much to me. Since then, I have had so many amazing experiences with the Panthers and our fans. One of the most important has been my friendship with @chrisdraft who played 12 years in the NFL and has become a huge mentor for me in helping me to become a bigger voice in the Lung Cancer advocacy space. I have worked hard to do more as a Lung Cancer advocate and to bring attention and raise money for lung cancer research. Not for any recognition, but to pay tribute to my Mom and to help those still fighting or who will one day fight lung cancer themselves. Next month is the NFL's Crucial Catch Month, where all 32 clubs do more to bring attention to "intercepting cancer." Encouraging fans to get screened, making donations to cancer research, and honoring cancer survivors, caregivers, and medical professionals across the country. I have reached out to my team rep from last year and expressed my desire to be the team's Keep Pounding drummer for our Crucial Catch game this season, and it would mean the world to me to be given the honor to Sound the Drum in recognition of all those who are currently fighting any form of cancer. Spread the word. Help me Sound the Drum! #KeepPounding

The Broncos were allowed to target Cam Newton so many times in that Season opener. I'll never not be mad about this footage.

Great to be recognized for 20 years as Associate Editor for J. Thoracic Oncology at WCLC in Seoul, Korea.

“I found my path through tragedy” #Titans Robert Saleh’s brother was in the second tower on 9/11. He spoke about how that day changed the trajectory of his future & the impact it had on his family @WSMV

Bobby Cox sent Leo Mazzone to the mound so he could tell Greg Maddux to walk Luis Gonzalez. Maddux refused to do it, and told Leo give him two pitches and he'll make Luis pop up to 3rd base. As Leo returned to the dugout, Bobby was fuming. Two pitches later, a pop up to Chipper Jones at 3rd base

Imagine if we all had a teammate like Ronald Acuna Jr. I'd round 3rd and chug headfirst into home plate whether I needed to or not! Put this clip in the dictionary under "pure joy." I could watch it every morning. #Braves

Great way to kick off #WCLC26 in Seoul at the @IASLC Awards Luncheon. Congrats to all award recipients including this year’s STARS Scolars & Educational Awardees. Also @boldcaleb & all for the Africa Impact Award. #lcsm

New research in CHEST links stronger health systems with better lung cancer outcomes. Higher health spending, stronger universal coverage, greater nursing capacity and more radiotherapy centres were associated with lower mortality relative to incidence. Advances in lung cancer only help if health systems can actually deliver them. #LCSM doi.org/10.1016/j.chest.2026…
