Thank you for visiting my page. I've signed up for the LUNG FORCE Walk to make a difference in the lives of people impacted by lung disease. Since John's diagnosis in July 2017, I am determined to spread awareness about lung cancer.
Lung cancer is the second leading cause of death, only behind heart disease, and accounts for more deaths than any other cancer. More than breast, prostate and colon cancer combined!
In 2018, federal funding for lung cancer research per death was just $1,680 compared to $24,846 for breast, $12,644 for prostate and $6,344 for colon.
Lung cancer has the lowest 5-year survival rate of the other most common cancers: only 17%, versus prostate at 99%; breast at 89%; and colorectal at 65%. Sadly there is no cure for lung disease.
Be a part of the FORCE to defeat lung cancer and lung disease one step at a time.
Stay safe and love, light and happiness to all of you!
