Why We Walk

We walk for people. For patients and their loved ones. For colleagues and neighbors. For everyone affected by lung disease. We walk because together we can defeat lung cancer and lung disease one step at a time.

 

What is a LUNG FORCE Hero?

LUNG FORCE Heroes are patients, caregivers, family, friends and co-workers of those who are impacted by lung cancer. Our Heroes share their powerful journeys — stories which help raise awareness and the research funding needed to defeat lung cancer for once and for all. Heroes may also be asked to speak at a LUNG FORCE Walk Kick-off event, LUNG FORCE Advocacy Day, Corporate Recruitment event and/or on Walk day.

If you're interested in becoming a LUNG FORCE Hero, please contact Joe Manager for more information. We also invite you to Share Your Voice and read about other Heroes' experiences too. Everyone's story is unique, and we appreciate you getting involved and becoming a LUNG FORCE Hero!

Meet some of our LUNG FORCE Heroes

Milli smoked for over 40 years, but seeing lung cancer take her mother and brother motivated her to take the screening eligibility quiz and get a low-dose CT scan that saved her life. Screening is key to early detection. Take the quiz and learn more at SavedByTheScan.org.

LUNG FORCE Hero Christy F. shares her voice to help raise awareness about lung cancer on World Lung Cancer Day. Learn more at LUNGFORCE.org/Heroes
