Support Diane Legg's legacy and the fight against lung cancer and join us for our 13th annual LUNGSTRONG LIVE & VIRTUAL 5K Run & 1.5mi Walk! This family-friendly event gives 100% of race proceeds and donations to Mass General Cancer Center for Thoracic Cancer Research under the direction of Dr. Justin Gainor. MGH is deeply committed to rapidly bringing advances to their patients and is making remarkable progress in identifying genetic mutations and developing targeted therapies for lung cancer. Your participation will help make a difference in the lives of patients today and it is with much optimism that one day lung cancer will be a treatable disease and no longer fatal.
We are no longer offering t-shirts. Instead, we are encouraging you to wear your favorite LUNGSTRONG t-shirt from prior years. (For teams that want to order team shirts, please contact Mary at hartnettco@rcn.com. LUNGSTRONG will provide the design of the shirt and your team can pick color and name at team's expense). Apparel will be available for purchase at the race.
Lung cancer survivors can register for FREE with code SURVIVOR.
