November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month Please join THE MOVEMENT. Learn about how to assemble a CANDLELIGHT VIGIL in your community in November 2010. |
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 will 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.
