Sweat For Breath Foundation

Directions Website

Sweat For Breath Foundation started as a grassroots fundraising campaign during Lung Cancer Awareness Month in 2023.

Sweat For Breath Foundation aims to extend and improve the lives of people with ALK+ lung cancer by raising funds for cutting-edge research and patient support programs and promoting awareness of this disease. After being diagnosed with Stage 4 ALK+ lung cancer in November 2022, David Cornbrooks became keenly aware that he was benefiting from the selfless fundraising and awareness efforts of the patients before him. The campaign in 2023 became David, and his wife, Lisa’s, way to help the next generation ALK+ lung cancer patients. quickly accelerated beyond more than just a typical fundraiser. The initiative quickly evolved into a community of patients, caregivers, family, and friends seeking to make David and Lisa’s vision a reality and the road to that vision more tolerable. People donated, sweated at the in-person cycle event, posted on social media, and helped fundraise through organizing group walks, selling art, “gifting” donations on behalf of clients, and much more. Their success in 2023 compelled David and Lisa to officially transition the campaign into The Sweat For Breath Foundation, operating through a fiscal sponsorship with Players Philanthropy Fund, a Maryland charitable trust recognized by IRS as a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Today, The Sweat For Breath Foundation aims to extend and improve the lives of people with ALK+ lung cancer by raising funds for cutting-edge research and patient support programs and promoting awareness of this disease.

This weekend at the ALK Positive Summit, was able to provide 30 two‑night hotel stays through our Patient Hardship Assistance Program.

This support gave patients and families the chance to attend, connect, and access critical education and support. These grants are designed to remove barriers for those facing ALK‑positive , and the impact was felt immediately. One attendee shared:

“Without your generosity, this could not have been possible for me to do.”

Another was in tears for what it made possible for their family.

Access matters. Community matters. Support matters. We’re committed to making sure no one faces this disease alone.
