LUNGevity LinkUP
Join us in our efforts to
educate and advocate for
- Increased research funding into the early detection and treatment of
lung cancer
- Better resources for lung cancer patients, their families, and their
caregivers
- An end to the stigma of lung cancer
- About 55% of all new lung
cancer diagnoses are among people who have never smoked or are former smokers
- Regardless of the cause, no one deserves lung cancer

What it takes to be a member
Members are encouraged to:
- 2 conference calls a year. These quarterly
calls are informative in nature, offer support and free training to give you
the confidence and resources you need to engage others and raise awareness
about lung cancer. We train you to become effective advocates.
Calls will be held every 3-4 months.
- Participate or host a LUNGevity event. Participate in an
existing local event, volunteer or host an independent fundraising event of
your choice! From a simple email campaign to a walk or sporting event, we
will walk you through it every step of the way. Start at your own pace.
- Report back! Keep us updated on what’s happening in your state and in your local community. Let us know about news stories, local support
groups and cancer events and if possible we will engage, support and offer
information to spread the word about lung cancer and LUNGevity.
