I went to the dfw walk and it was really well put together and there were like 25 survivors and it was so moving to my family. They really care about what they are doing.

The event every year is something my whole family looks forward to. LUNGevity gives them a way to honor our loved one and raise funds for research at the same time. Thank you LUNGevity. We are working to CURE LUNG CANCER!

I live in a small community where there are not a lot of resources. Lungevity has been invaluable both in support and understanding, as well as up-to-date information on the latest treatments and research. I would simply be lost without them.

The support You can find here and the caring warm experience of being welcomed into this community of others who understand is simply amazing. I can't describe how it's changed my life and the life of so many others.

Lungevity is an amazing organization. The support that they offer survivors and caregivers far surpasses ANY organization out there. When I was diagnosed seven years ago, they were the only organization out there offering hope. They raise money for the much needed and underfunded research.

I met LUNGevity when I was first diagnosed with lung cancer. I was diagnosed at 24 years old so I felt pretty alone, but LUNGevity changed that. I was instantly connected with people who knew exactly what I was going through, and it was wonderful to not feel alone anymore! Not only are the staff personable, respectful, and caring, but they all have been impacted by lung cancer in some way. Every single person affiliated with LUNGevity knows how hurtful lung cancer is, and we all want to stop it. LUNGevity Foundation is the best charity I have ever come across, because they are dedicated to not only finding a cure for this disease but also to emotionally help those impacted whether patient, family member, or friend. I would not be where I am without LUNGevity.

This is the hardest working charity I have found. For such a small group of people, they conduct dozens of walks and charitable benefits across the country in a single year. Their community outreach is so extensive. Their website and staff both help those affected with lung cancer and also for those who know someone affected by lung cancer. You can talk to someone who truly understands and that can help the body, as well as, the soul.

My biggest challenge has been dealing with the anxiety of leaving my sons without me. I am a single mom and my sons have no other relatives that could be in their lives if something should happen to me. Also, I was diagnosed with LC a few months after my mom passed from the same LC. My children were young and with me while I was taking care of her and we watched her waste away and die. A few months later I was diagnosed and the hardest thing was for me to tell my sons I had cancer too. They were 10 years old (I have twin boys) and I had to go to the hospital for a week, recuperate from surgery and then have chemo treatments, so I knew I would have to be honest and talk with them. It was so hard. I had no one to turn to who really understood. And then I found LUNGevity. The support from LUNGevity, has been a lifeline to me. Not only does one get emotional support, but we learn more about different protocols from each other than the doctors! Also, spends more dollars on research for a cure than other organizations. I think one of the most powerful events LUNGevity sponsors is the annual HOPE SUMMIT. There is so much emotion and support for one another. Words cannot describe what it is like to be able to be yourself, your "cancer self" for one whole weekend.

Last year I was introduced to Andrea Ferris and the LUNGevity organization. This was by far one of the best connections I've made in my life. And not because i'm a person with LC...It's because they're incredible at what they do in every facet of their mission. As an inoperable stage III NSCLC recipient, I was given a very short life expectancy. Upon receiving this prognosis, I asked my doctor what I should do next. He stated simply, "Go live your life'. That's all fine and dandy as far as quips go but I had no idea where to find or what level of support existed. I wanted to seek others who might be faced with a similar fate. As fate would have it, I was directed to LUNGevity to find this support. Across the board, from online chat support, medical updates, fund raising, awareness, stigma change, live events, and providing HOPE, I can find no flaw in this organization. The people who make up LUNGevity are smart, passionate, caring, giving and most of all, selfless individuals all committed to one goal - end death by lung cancer. I for one can think of few organizations I wish to support more...whether I had the disease or not. LUNGevity is simply amazing!
