Christine Lovly, Division Chief of the Thoracic Medical Oncology at City of Hope, shared on LinkedIn:
“Bonnie Addario was the OG lung cancer patient advocate. She was Bold, Brilliant, Benevolent, and Boundless. She devoted 20+ years to advocacy. She changed the world.
Accepting this award in her honor was incredible. I am indebted to the Addario Family, Danielle Hicks, Roy Herbst, Heather Wakelee, Sandip Patel and Richard Erwin for their support and friendship over the years.
Bonnie passed away on 08/25/2025. She is forever in our hearts and forever in our push to advance lung cancer.”
