" It didn ' t make sense that she had cancer . We didn ' t see it coming ," Smith said . " Losing somebody to something like lung cancer is devastating . But , at the same time , there are also things you can do to avoid something like that ."
Todd joined other community members such as Kerri Robbins , who received a stage 4 non-smoking lung cancer diagnosis after exposure to radon in her home , in advocating for awareness and testing .
" My diagnosis came because I did not know about radon . Our home ' s level was 31.3 pCi / L — it was like I was smoking three packs of cigarettes a day ," Robbins said . " It ' s so important to find out about radon and get a free test ."
Since her diagnosis , Robbins has been on a mission to encourage every Utah resident to test for radon .
