The National Lung Cancer Partnership is comprised of a group of leading doctors, researchers, patient advocates, and lung cancer survivors who are working together to improve treatments for lung cancer patients. They are dedicated to raising the public awareness of the disease and generating funding for lung cancer research.
In support of educating the public they have declared November as Lung Cancer Awareness Month. The organization is offering the “Free to Breathe” series of fitness events throughout the country for individuals, families, and companies to show their support. Upcoming events are being held in Raleigh, NC, Athens, GA, Jacksonville, FL, Columbia, SC, Dayton, OH, and Seattle, WA. See the website for a full list of events.
Over the past four years, National Lung Cancer Partnership has funded over $1.1 million in cancer research dollars. Their partners include Lilly, Pfizer, OSI Pharmaceuticals, Merck, Novartis as well as the Lance Armstrong Foundation, Oncology Nursing Society Foundation (ONS), and the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC).
