Did you know lung cancer is Australia’s biggest cancer killer?

What I didn't know, until very recently, was that all lung cancer research also benefits people like me with other lung conditions. I have Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), and only 15-20 years ago, my life expectancy would've been 1-5 years. Now, because of research into PAH and also via lung cancer research, there are drugs available that will prolong my life. Whilst they won't cure my condition, in all likelihood it won't be PAH that sends me over the rainbow bridge. I have much to thank lung disease research in general, that's for sure. And THAT'S why I'm doing this walk.

Help me raise funds while I do this walk on 1st November. Any amount is welcome, whatever you're comfortable with. I know things are tight and getting tighter, so please know I am grateful for the merest penny.

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 disease and know you will be making a difference.

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.

Thank you.
