Every Breath ForwardSM is about more than numbers. It is about people. Honor someone living with lung cancer or remember someone whose life was lost to the disease. Their name will become part of the Every Breath ForwardSM Honor Wall, displayed at the Washington, DC, installation and here online, bringing the personal stories and connections behind lung cancer into view and reminding everyone why we continue to push for progress.

We're wishing Pope Leo XIV strength and healing as he recovers from surgery following his lung cancer diagnosis.

With over 229,000 Americans diagnosed with lung cancer each year, for so many individuals and families, news like this can hit especially close to home. Our thoughts are with the Pope and everyone in our community who knows firsthand how personal this journey can be.

For those looking to better understand lung cancer, from screening and early detection to diagnosis, we're sharing some helpful information and resources. https://www.lungevity.org/lung-cancer-basics

If you are affected by lung cancer and in need of support, please visit lungevity.org/support

Kelley is a lung cancer survivor who has been dedicated to making an impact for the community since her diagnosis. In 2024 and 2025, Kelley hosted Breathe Deep Anywhere walks in her Northeast Ohio community.

This summer, she decided to take a new approach and enlisted her husband and their parents to help. Kelley hosted a yard sale and her community showed up. Over 50 families donated items and they raised $7,300 for lung cancer research and support services!

Kelley hopes by sharing her fundraiser she will inspire others to get creative and make an impact for all affected by lung cancer.

If you are interested in learning about more creative fundraisers, visit LUNGevity.org/fundraise or register for a Breathe Deep event by visiting LUNGevity.org/together

Thank you, Kelley, for supporting the lung cancer community and sharing your success! taken in Cleveland, Ohio by @lungevity
