Story
This is a charity very close to our hearts having lost our Dad to this horrible disease earlier this year. If we can raise anything to help this charity to carry out research, look for new treatments and support other families who are living with this awful illness then we will be happy.
A little bit about the charity:
Back in 1990 when the charity was established, we were the first UK charity solely dedicated to lung cancer and, 30 years on, we remain the only UK charity solely dedicated in supporting everyone affected by the disease.
Over the past 30 years together we have:
- Funded over £30 million in lung cancer research
- Lay the groundwork for lung cancer screening
- Funded the first ever lung cancer nurse specialist Performed the first ever lung cancer keyhole surgery
- Helped thousands of people to stop smoking
- Funded and built the first lung cancer research centre in the UK
- Campaigned for life-lengthening treatments
- Raised awareness of lung cancer, challenged the misconceptions around the disease and improved attitudes
- Provided emotional, practical and financial support for thousands and thousands of people diagnosed and living with lung cancer.
But there is still so much more to do and we need support too.
