Our amazing team of skydivers are raising money for Research ALK +ve. Research ALK +ve was formed in lockdown by a group of friends and family, frustrated by the fact that lung cancer research is sadly underfunded despite its high mortality rate. Research ALK +ve is the only UK charity dedicated to raising money for exclusive alk positive lung cancer research. ALK positive lung cancer is on the increase worldwide in younger, female nonsmokers. Our inspiration was diagnosed at just 17 years old. If you have lungs you or your loved ones can get lung cancer.
