I will walk with my lantern because...
My Mum passed away a year and a half ago from Lung Cancer. This disease was never on our radar - Mum was a non-smoker who showed few symptoms, other than a cough that just didn’t go away. 1 in 3 women who develop it have no history of smoking. More people die from Lung Cancer in Australia than any other type of cancer.
We need more research, more awareness, and more of the incredible drugs that helped my Mum for as long as they were able to.
Thank you for whatever you are able to give, or even just for your support. It means so much.

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.
