| Ladies' Home Journal and Christopher Andersen are the joint winners of the 2008 Joanie Award for highlighting the issue of lung cancer in women and nonsmokers in the August "Health Journal". That Journal included an excerpt from Mr. Andersen's book, Somewhere In Heaven: The Remarkable Love Story of Dana and Christopher Reeve, that described Dana Reeve's valiant fight with lung cancer, and an informative sidebar, "Why Nonsmokers Get Lung Cancer."
"We applaud Mr. Andersen for increasing the world's understanding of what it feels like to face a lung cancer diagnosis through the eyes of courageous Dana Reeve, and Ladies' Home Journal for highlighting this chapter to get out the facts about lung cancer, including in never smokers, and increasing awareness of the disease!" said Susan C. Mantel, Executive Director.
