Fall 2019
LCRF launches outdoor awareness campaign and website
In August, LCRF launched our very first outdoor patient education campaign to help raise awareness about lung cancer. If you live in Chicago or Philadelphia you may have seen our messaging on highway billboards, taxi tops, and bus and rail posters! As part of this campaign, LCRF launched a website, IfYouHaveLungs.org, which contains more information about lung cancer, our patient resources, LCRF, and how to get involved.

"People ask, ‘Why did I get this?’?
My question is, ‘Why didn’t I die?’”
Joe wanted to support his 6-year-old son through a medical procedure, so to serve as a good example, he agreed to have an examination of his own. The last thing he expected was to find out that he had lung cancer.
