LUNGevity is transforming what it means to be diagnosed and live with lung cancer through research, advocacy, and community.
LUNGevity Foundation was founded in 2001 by seven people who had each had been diagnosed with lung cancer. It was their vision and passion for finding a cure that resulted in LUNGevity’s phenomenal growth. In starting a small Chicago-born organization and nurturing it to become the nation’s fastest-growing charity in less than ten years, these very special people left an indelible legacy.
