Thank you for visiting our Just Giving page. We are taking part in the I love the 90's virtual run to mark the 30th anniversary of the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation and raise awareness and vital funding for lung cancer research and support. Lung cancer is the most common form of cancer and 28% of lung cancers aren't caused by smoking - if you have lungs you can get lung cancer.
Because of support from events like the virtual run, over the past 30 years the charity has been able to ...

... But there is so much more to be done.
