shine a light on lung cancer research

By Asha Finlayson

I'm fundraising for...

Did you know lung cancer is Australia’s biggest cancer killer? Research offers hope and your support helps keep hope alive for the 14,529 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.

Where there is light, there is hope. Please support me and donate today. You will make a difference.
