About us
LUNGevity is transforming lung cancer through research, education, and support. We are dedicated to funding scientific research because the link between research spending and improved survival is clear. Our strategic investment in both early detection and therapeutics will help people live better with lung cancer and dramatically improve on the current 18% five-year survival rate. LUNGevity initiatives position us as thought leaders in the lung cancer advocacy community, providing programs and driving change for those with lung cancer today and in the future. While we fund primary research, we also develop patient surveys to better understand their unmet needs and convene multi-stakeholder meetings to streamline the research process and accelerate progress to patients. LUNGevity seeks to empower patients to be active decision makers in their treatment process through our extensive educational resources, online peer-to-peer support, and in-person survivorship programs. We provide a community of empowerment, support, and hope as well as more than 80 grassroots awareness and fundraising events held from coast to coast each year.

Scientist and advocate. VP, Global Engagement and Research Partnerships at LUNGevity Foundation. Team CANCAN @Cancer Grand Challenges. Views = mine.
It was an honor to be part of this discussion. Key takeaways: 1) think about your skills and what motivates you 2) try out different groups - “fit” is important 3) none of us can be all things or do all things 4) we still have a long way to go.
Every individual’s advocacy can make a big difference in advancing outcomes in cancer. But how can working with allies and partners extend your reach? This video brings together several leading patient advocates who are making a big difference through their own efforts and their partnerships with patient organisations. Called “Finding allies and partners,” this discussion discusses everything from finding the right fit, using your skills and developing new ones, and much more. You’ll hear advice from LUNGevity’s Amy Moore, KRAS Kickers’ Terri Conneran, Lung Cancer Europe’s Anne-Marie Baird and ALK Positive Inc’s Ken Culver. This video concludes a short three-part series from our Co-founder and Chair, Yvonne Diaz, following the award of an IASLC Patient Educational Award.

What comes to your mind when you hear lung cancer research? Traditionally, people associate getting involved in lung cancer research with enrolling in a clinical trial. But most don’t realize they can also partner with researchers behind the scenes and get involved in designing clinical trials. In the first of a three-part series, Rising Tide Foundation for Clinical Cancer Research has partnered with LUNGevity to understand the role people with lung cancer can play in developing clinical trials. Watch here: https://brnw.ch/21wLgnK
