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.

Please find an event in your area and lend it your support. If there is no event, start your own. All these events started with just a few people. Many event organizers will help you with information about how to start an event. Your event doesn't need to raise money - raising awareness and assembling a mailing list for lobbying your representatives is just as useful a goal. If a state is not linked below, it has no event at this time. It sure would be great to see some type of awareness event in every single state.

  • Number of Deaths: No progress. Five-Year-Survival-Rate: No progress. Lung cancer will remain the #1 cancer killer in 2009, claiming another 161,000 lives: three times as many men as prostate cancer, nearly twice as many women as breast cancer. More people will die from lung cancer this year than breast, prostate, colon, leukemia, ovarian and cervical cancers—combined.

  • This deadly disease has taken about 1.6 million Americans since 2000! Of this number, almost one million of these Americans NEVER SMOKED or QUIT SMOKING often decades ago. This simply cannot be viewed as a 'smoker's disease; that is not to say that smoker's 'deserve' lung cancer. How did smokers become 'victims' while the tobacco companies continue to make billions in profits? There is NO legal additive drug like cigarettes. People are allowed to get hooked, told to quit and then allowed to die with little meanful treatment options available?

  • If you want to read all the news about lung cancer research every week, subscribe to the email newsletter produced by the Caring Ambassadors Lung Cancer Program. There are a few such newsletters but none of them are nearly as informative and inmpressive as the emailer compiled by Cindy Langhorne, CAPS Program Director.

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!
