Stephen Huff is from Nashville, Tennessee. He is a husband, father, high school teacher, and a former professional baseball player in the Chicago White Sox organization. 

In 2017, when Stephen was just 29 years old, he was diagnosed with inoperable, stage four lung cancer. His disease is currently stable, and he remains in active treatment.

Not long after his diagnosis, Stephen and his wife Emily started the Huff Project, a non-profit with a mission to erase the negative stigma associated with lung cancer, and to raise money for research that will help prevent future cases, and advance treatment options. 

Today, I sat down for a chat with Stephen about life with lung cancer, and what motivates him each day as a teacher and leader of a non-profit organization.
