My Story…
In honor of Mark Aldrich and the many others with lung cancer.
A bit about this organization ... I've admired for years LungStrong, founded by Diane Legg, whom I met years ago as she mentored me in sales. 16 years ago, Diane thought she pulled a muscle after lifting her toddler son, to be then diagnosed with lung cancer.
To be a survivor beyond the odds and life expectancy, Diane has pushed for earlier diagnosis (and got that passed and reimbursable), educated and supported thousands (did you know 30% with lung cancer never smoked!, continues to participate in medical trials, and raised three amazing sons. As for LungStrong fundraising, this organization gives 100% of donations (no admin fees) directly to medical research at Massachusetts General Hospital and Dana Farber Research, resulting in $3M raised just through her own teams, efforts, advocacy, and laugh.
Thank you for considering a donation to this direct to research donation.
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?
