Are We Missing A Date? CLICK HERE TO ADD YOUR EVENT Please note that many events are posted in the spring and summer along with dozens of ShineALightOnLungCancer candlelight vigils scheduled to occur in November every year. So if you do not see an event in your area early in the year - please check back later!
Lung Cancer is a devastating disease. Funding to develop improved screening, treatments and cures has been and continues to be woefully inadequate. We need to work together to improve awareness which in turn will hopefully lead to more support for requests for state and federal funds. The purpose of this site is to provide all Lung Cancer event listings in one place. There are many worthwhile non-profit lung cancer advocacy sites but none list ALL events and some only list their own events.

Run As One, ING NYC Marathon
New York City
2012-11-04
Around the world, the word "marathon" evokes images of New York City. Before the New York race began, marathons were modest events run by a few athletes and followed by a few fans interested in the limits of human endurance. New York Road Runners and marathon co-founder Fred Lebow changed that. Today many marathons are huge media events that take over entire cities around the globe. None is as prominent as the ING New York City Marathon, but all city marathons are modeled on it. Modern marathoning owes its start -- and its world-class status -- to New York.

WISCONSIN
Old Guy Walk 2012
Wisconsin
2012-06-09
I'm an old guy who started to exercise on a daily basis in March of 2010 so I could participate in a sprint triathalon. Although I didn't win, I completed the event and felt a real sense of accomplishment. When my mom died in February of 2011, six weeks after being diagnosed with small cell lung cancer, I felt helpless. She died very quickly from a form of lung cancer I had never really heard of, and a form of cancer that is hard to detect until it's too late. I decided I wanted to do something to try to make a difference. The Old Guy Walk came to life!
