As Lung Cancer Hope Month comes to an end, we are excited to celebrate three courageous survivors who give us hope to accomplish amazing things after a lung cancer diagnosis.

Last year, Michelle and her daughter, Rachel, joined Team LUNGevity as spectators. This year, they are participating in their first race, the William A. Irvin 5K!

Caitlin participated in the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon last year with Team LUNGevity while her husband, Tommy, and their three kids cheered her on. This year, Tommy will come off the sidelines to join Caitlin as they both take on the full marathon as part of Team LUNGevity!

Marie is taking on Grandma's Marathon as her fifth marathon since her diagnosis and lobectomy. Almost 6 years cancer free, Marie is a passionate advocate raising awareness with every mile. Congratulations to Marie for being our top fundraiser for the 2026 Grandma's Marathon team!

Join us in celebrating these three amazing survivors raising lung cancer awareness and pushing the boundaries of what you can do living with lung cancer.

Did you know that 1 in 18 women will be diagnosed with lung cancer?

When you raise awareness that lung cancer is a women’s health issue, you can help lead to an earlier diagnosis for the women you care about, which can lead to better outcomes.

“When I was 14 years old, my father passed from lung cancer. After watching him struggle, I made it a priority during my time in Congress to spare others from suffering like my father did. With the Increasing Access to Lung Cancer Screening Act, we can expand access to lifesaving cancer screenings, helping more Americans catch and fight lung cancer in the early stages.” -Senator Dick Durbin

“In Hawaii, lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death, often because cases are caught after it is too late for effective treatment. With Hawaii being ranked last in the nation for early lung cancer detection, expanding access to screenings can make the difference between life and death. By removing unnecessary administrative, coverage, and cost barriers that delay and prevent these essential screenings, this legislation could help millions of Americans get the lifesaving care they need.” -Senator Mazie Hirono

LUNGevity would like to thank Senator Durbin and Senator Hirono for their leadership in introducing the Increasing Access to Lung Cancer Screening Act in the Senate this week.

This bill takes important steps to ensure that more people can benefit from life-saving early detection. We encourage advocates to write their members of Congress and ask them to co-sponsor this priority legislation! https://brnw.ch/21x2JJJ
