Small Steps, Bold Strides

From the bottom of our lungs, THANK YOU to all our participants, sponsors, committee members, volunteers and supporters for an incredible 10th Anniversary LUNG FORCE Walk. Your support makes our work possible for the more than 1.6 million Michganders living with lung disease.

Check out the online event photo gallery! Share your photos in our local American Lung Association in Michigan Facebook Group too and we’ll be sure to add them to the collection.

Participants are encouraged to complete our post-event survey to provide feedback and insight to help the American Lung Association staff team and volunteer committee to continue to host and plan our signature fundraising events.

Incentive Deadline Anyone who raises $150 by November 1 qualifies for LUNG FORCE Walk incentive through the national fundraising incentive program.

With nearly 37 million people affected by lung disease in the US, each and every dollar raised will support lung disease research, educational programs and advocacy efforts. We need your help today to ensure there is a future free of lung disease with healthy air to breathe! Fundraising for our annual event will remain open through December 31, 2023.

Register today and save your spot. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about this year's event.

      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.
