In February of 2016 Sue Rickards had a routine chest x-ray. To her and her doctor's surprise, Sue had lung cancer.

Sue has never smoked or vaped, or lived with someone who does. There was no family history of lung cancer, and Sue never spent much time in smoke-filled environment or places that would put her at risk of developing lung cancer.

Sue and her doctor began to look elsewhere for the cause, and it wasn't long before they discovered that radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer, after smoking.
