Latest campaigns
Let Go of the Labels
Labels like smoker and never smoker can distort what’s really going on and deny people the change of an earlier, life-saving diagnosis. Join our latest campaign and help us lose these dangerous and archaic labels.
Be Unforgettable
Lung cancer is an instant death sentence. Only people who smoke get lung cancer. You’ll have a cough…. You’re wrong! It’s time to forget everything you think you know about lung cancer.
Improving the symptomatic pathway
With three quarters of people with lung cancer diagnosed at late stage. we need to make it easier for people with potential symptoms to get tested.
