One Mighty FORCE

Together, we are one mighty LUNG FORCE, united in hope and courage to achieve a world without lung cancer and lung disease.

Where We Walked

The American Lung Association of Jacksonville celebrated its 11th Annual LUNG FORCE Walk, November 16, 2024. The Walk took place on the lovely campus of the University of North Florida. The Jacksonville community with over 300 participants came together for a morning of healthy activity among friends. Together, we honored the memory of those lost to lung disease and lifted those who needed our support.

Fundraising Continues!

LUNG FORCE Walk Fundraising is still open! We encouraged you to continue your fundraising efforts through December 13th, to support the mission and help us close the gap to our fundraising goal.

      Why We Need You

      Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer deaths among women and men. Someone is diagnosed with lung cancer every two minutes and 14 seconds. 4 in 5 of those diagnosed will ultimately die of the disease.

      Why We're Hopeful

      More Americans than ever are surviving lung cancer. The survival rate has increased by a dramatic 13% to 22.6% in the last 5 years. Your support will help us continue the progress in our efforts to defeat lung cancer.
