Help Elizabeth raise money

For participating in LUNGSTRONG Virtual 5K Run & 1.5 Mile Walk

My Story…

Lung Cancer took on a new meaning when I met a neighbor, Diane Legg, in Amesbury who founded LUNGSTRONG. She fights for lung cancer funding and more awareness of it every day while she battles it herself.  When I moved to Exeter, my new neighbor, was another non-smoking mother fighting lung cancer as well. Tricia passed away in 2018.

Please help fund the innovative treatments that gave Tricia more time and good quality of life than she expected with her family. Please help the scientists and doctors that work every day to find more targeted treatments and a cure for Lung Cancer.

This LUNGSTRONG walk gives directly to Mass General to make this possible.

 Thank you for considering!

Description

I'm fundraising for LUNGSTRONG because 100% of my donations go directly to lung cancer research at the Massachusetts General Hospital's Cancer Center's Lung Cancer Research Program. Lung Cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in both men and women and across all ethnicities.  It's also the least funded based on its mortality rate. And by the way, the only thing you need to get lung cancer is LUNGS!! This disease does not discriminate.  In fact over 60% of those who get lung cancer either never smoked or quite decades ago. It's time to fund research for the number 1 cancer killer. Will you join me?
