A year after her husband died in 2003, Rosanne Ferrarotti created the Gianni Ferrarotti Lung Cancer Foundation. Since then, more than $200,000 has been donated by the Foundation and other generous donors supporting the Gianni Ferrarotti Lung Cancer Patient Assistant Fund and the Gianni Ferrarotti Lung Cancer Fund at Karmanos. Five years after losing her husband to lung cancer, Rosanne was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. The Foundation's work continues, as do the funds that help bring hope to patients and advance lung cancer research. Rosanne is an active member of Karmanos' Patient & Family Advisory Council to help other patients and families navigate their journey with this disease.
