NATIONAL LUNG CANCER PARTNERSHIP

Free to Breathe - Greensboro, NC
Training buddies: Sharon Churchill

Free to Breathe Lung Cancer 5K

  • Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer of both men and women
  • Lung cancer kills more women than breast cancer
  • Over half of all new cases of lung cancer are diagnosed in non-smokers
  • Because of the stigma associated with lung cancer, research for lung cancer receives only a fraction of the funding that other cancers receive

I'm proud to be a part of the growing movement to raise awareness for lung cancer, and to help fund lung cancer research. I've had such a great response that I've raised my initial goal from $1000 to $1500. I think I can do it, with your help!

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Love,

Kimberly
