I will walk with my lantern to honour my mum Wendy.
Did you know lung cancer is Australia’s biggest cancer killer?
Research offers hope and your support helps keep hope alive for the 15,122 new Australians living with lung cancer. Together, we can help shine a light on lung cancer and fund groundbreaking research.
Every year, the Shine a Light campaign raises funds to brighten the future for Australians living with lung cancer. With your support, Lung Foundation Australia provides seed funding for the best and brightest researchers to undertake projects that support discoveries towards the prevention, management and cure of lung cancer. Scientific breakthroughs can take years to accomplish but every dollar makes a difference to the lives of people impacted by lung cancer. Alongside research, practical support is just as critical, so we empower people living with lung cancer to make informed choices about treatment and management, through Lung Foundation Australia's Lung Cancer Support Nurse service.
Where there is light, there is hope. Every dollar builds a brighter future for Australians diagnosed with lung cancer.
Join me in fundraising, donate or join a community walk today. You will make a difference.

6 months today
Monday 15th Sep Today is 6 months since mum went to heaven.Last year Mum told me she wanted to do the shine a light walk but wasn't up to going to the city, I decided I would organise one in Lang Lang for her to do this year little did we know that we'd be told in January the treatment had stopped working and we only had a year left. Unfortunately it was only 2 more months most of which were spent in hospital followed by palliative care. So instead I'm doing the walk to honour Mum and raise some money so there's more hope in the future for others faced with Mum's diagnosis.
