  • Create Your Own Survivor Sash Personalize a white sash to proudly display your strength.
  • Commemorative Flowers Receive a flower to symbolize the hurdles you’ve overcome. You can place it in the Memorial Garden on a Mission Marker during the Walk, representing your path and the journey ahead.

Your courage deserves to be recognized, and together, we will continue raising awareness for all those impacted by lung disease. Let’s walk together for a healthier future

      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.
