On a day when many are thankful for a second helping of turkey, Thanksgiving for the Polozola family has a much deeper meaning.
Today will be an extra special occasion for the family because it is one more holiday spent with Sharron Polozola.

Polozola is a four-year stage IV lung cancer survivor. “My story is one of hope and never giving up,” she said.

In October 2004, at the age of 43, Polozola was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, the most common form of lung cancer.

Aside from November being National Lung Cancer Awareness Month, it is also a reflective time of year for Polozola.
