When cover model Christy Turlington Burns lost her father to lung cancer in 1997, she dedicated her life to crusading for smoking cessation and lung cancer awareness. From launching the anti-smoking and lung cancer resource website called Smoking is Ugly, to acting as spokesperson for the cause through her affiliation with organizations like the American Cancer Society, Christy has been relentless in lending her time to the cause.

Fast forward ten years and one can see that Christy’s mission is far from over.

At an event this summer at the Steven Weiss Studio in New York City for Donna Karan’s Urban Zen Initiative Christy meets a young woman who has just started her personal crusade against the same cancer that killed her mother in April 2006.
