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.

The LUNG FORCE Run/Walk provides critical funds for lifesaving research, early detection initiatives, and awareness outreach to vulnerable communities.

Where You'll be Walking

Join us for this unique 5K on Folly Beach as we run, walk, jog, or stroll in the sand with family and friends. It’s also an occasion to celebrate the lung cancer survivors in our lives, honor the memory of those we’ve lost to lung cancer and lung disease, and lift up those who need our support.

      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.
