"I’m grateful I tested my home, but it breaks my heart to think this lung cancer could have been prevented. If only I had known how easy it was to test my home and fix the high radon levels. If more people knew about the dangers of radon exposure and took action, much suffering could be prevented.
If sharing my story helps just one family avoid what I’m going through, it will have been worth it. Please test your home for radon to keep you and your family safe.”
Luana Hiebert was an extraordinary Ambassador for Lung Saskatchewan. She bravely shared her story of radon-induced lung cancer, raising awareness, inspiring action, and helping to protect countless families. Luana’s courage and determination turned her diagnosis into a mission to protect others - transforming personal leadership into hope for countless families across Saskatchewan.
Luana’s Legacy Fund will be offered under the umbrella of Lung Saskatchewan’s Caring Breaths Financial Assistance Program. Caring Breaths helps Saskatchewan families cover essential costs not supported by the provincial system, such as the substantial expenses tied to out-of-province lung transplants, pulmonary rehabilitation or radon mitigation to reduce the risk of lung cancer.
As a dedicated branch of the Caring Breaths program, Luana’s Legacy Fund will focus specifically on supporting anyone on a lung cancer journey, those in need of radon mitigation as well as education and awareness about the dangers of radon. This will ensure families who face these unique challenges have access to a compassionate support fund when no other options exist. This structure allows Luana’s Legacy Fund to be built on a strong, established foundation while honouring her story and extending her impact.
