Shine a Light Walk Canberra 2025

I will walk with my lantern because...

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.

I don’t have lung cancer

Friday 17th Oct
I have just realised that if you click on my fundraiser page it states that I am living with lung cancer.  I am not. But it is a cause very close to my heart, and I know too many people who have directly and indirectly been affected by lung cancer. Unfortunately lung cancer is a type of cancer that doesn’t usually present symptoms until it becomes quite advanced. But by raising money for the lung foundation, they are aiming to try and find early screening to stop this cancer being such a death sentence when undetected. And this is why I am doing this fundraiser.
