I will walk with my lantern because...
For those of you who don’t know, my wonderful, kind and caring partner, Jonathon, was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer in May. ❤️
There have been huge improvements in lung cancer treatments over the past few years, giving so many people hope. But there is still so much more to be done, and continued research is vital. Research takes funding, and unfortunately, lung cancer doesn’t receive the media attention or awareness it deserves, meaning it can often fly under the radar.
Jonathon’s medical team at Gold Coast University Hospital have been absolutely incredible, and we are so grateful for the care and support they provide. But imagine what more could be achieved with greater funding, more research and continued advances in treatment.
More research means more hope, more options and, ultimately, more lives saved. đź’š
Lung cancer deserves more awareness, more support and more investment. Because behind every diagnosis is a person, a family and a whole lot of people hoping for more time together.
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.
