The ALCSI Podcast is an program of the American Lung Cancer Screening Initiative to educate the public on lung cancer and lung cancer screening. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the world. Large clinical trials have shown that lung cancer screening through low-dose computed tomography (CT) reduces lung cancer mortality by up to 33%. In fact, if every high-risk American were to get screened right now, more than 30,000 lives could be saved this year alone. However, less than 5% of high-risk Americans are currently getting screened. Visit https://www.alcsi.org/ to learn more.

Ask an Advocate Mini-Series: Jack Owens on Biking Across the U.S. for Lung Cancer (Part 2 of 2)

In this episode, we have the great honor and privilege of talking with Jack Owens. Jack Owens is a rising junior at the University of Notre Dame and is originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is studying business analytics, finance, and computing and digital technologies, and serves as Vice President of Business Development for the Jubilee Initiative for Financial Inclusion, a student-run nonprofit focused on economic justice.

Jack has been a dedicated supporter of Ride Hard Breathe Easy since 2017, playing a key role in communications with partners, sponsors, and donors. He is currently riding across the country, a 3,600-mile journey in memory of his grandmother, raising funds and awareness for lung cancer patients. Each day of the ride is dedicated to someone impacted by the disease, making the journey deeply personal and purposeful.

This is part two of a two-part miniseries, where we speak with Jack Owens and his uncle, John Matthews, about their journeys with Ride Hard Breathe Easy.

Your podcast hosts are Sam Schwartz, Pranav Mandyam, Jacob Rashap, and Priyanka Senthil.
