When asked “Why BronchoThon,” she responded with: “I wanted to find an organization that aligned with my values and passions in life to give back and continue to learn and grow as a person. When I heard about BronchoThon, I knew that I wanted to connect with a group of people that valued children’s health and community as much as I do. Children are so much stronger and capable than people give them credit for so I want to be able to show others how we can continue learning from those we least expect it from.”

Lindsey is a sophomore majoring in Biomedical Sciences, and this is her first year on the team!

When asked “Why BronchoThon,” she responded with: “I have been with families in their most vulnerable states when one of their own is affected by illness. Whether it was through volunteering at hospitals or working as a CNA, I learned of the gaps that exist between healing and accessibility to resources. Additionally, I realized how little knowledge I had regarding the difficulties of affording treatment or staying in your home-state for services. Once I heard about BronchoThon, I was introduced to a movement that raises awareness for this information. Through the Children’s Health Foundation, BronchoThon advocates for Oklahoma’s children to receive the treatment they need.”
