The American Lung Association is the leading organization working to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease through research, education and advocacy. The work of the American Lung Association is focused on four strategic imperatives: to defeat lung cancer; to improve the air we breathe; to reduce the burden of lung disease on individuals and their families; and to eliminate tobacco use and tobacco-related diseases.

Please help us fund life-saving research to treat and cure lung cancer...this #1 cancer-killer of both women and men is the focus of LUNG FORCE, a campaign by American Lung Association to raise awareness and fight lung cancer.

It's so encouraging to see this focus on lung cancer, especially among women. I'd loved to see the American Lung Association lead the charge to tackle lung cancer with the same "force" that has been directed against breast cancer over the past 40 years. With this kind of effort, lung cancer could be whipped within one generation's lifetime!
