Jackie's Story
Every January, we highlight the critical importance of radon awareness and action. This year, we’re honored to share Jackie’s inspiring journey—from an unexpected lung cancer diagnosis to becoming a leading advocate for radon safety.
Jackie, a lifelong non-smoker from Bridgeville, PA, was shocked to learn she had lung cancer. After surgery, she discovered high radon levels in her home, a colorless and odorless gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Motivated to protect others, Jackie championed radon mitigation efforts in her community and now serves as President of Citizens for Radioactive Radon Reduction (CR3).
Her message is clear: testing your home for radon can save lives. This Radon Action Month, take action—test your home and help build healthier communities.
