Since 2012, World Lung Cancer Day is observed every year on August 1 to raise awareness of lung cancer issues, especially the need for more research funding.

Breakthroughs in research over the past decade have led to better survival rates, but it’s not enough. Lung cancer touches an overwhelming number of lives. In a sense, everyone who cares about a patient with lung cancer has it, too. The Lung Cancer Research Foundation recognizes that everyone in the community has a reason to fight for a cure.

For more information and to get involved, see the World Lung Cancer Day website.
