About this event Breathe Deep Charlotte is a grassroots event brought
together by an incredible group of passionate local volunteers, each of whom has been
profoundly impacted by lung cancer. Lauren Lapoint’s grandfather, George, is the living
embodiment of the promise of early detection, who, after losing a whole lung to the
disease, is still going strong 50 years after his diagnosis. Jen Edwards lost her brother,
Billy Potts, to lung cancer in August, 2014, when he was 48 years old. Julie O’Shea
Logsdon lost her childhood best friend, Audrey Murphy in March, 2014, when Audrey
was 32 years old. Anne Graves’s brother, Mike, died in May, 2014, at the age of 51. These
amazing women are bringing together the Charlotte community to support this critical
cause, one that has affected their loved ones so deeply. With your support and
participation, these local heroes hope to help other families avoid the losses that have
devastated theirs. 100% of the proceeds benefit LUNGevity Foundation.
About LUNGevity Foundation
LUNGevity supports the
largest research awards program of any lung cancer-focused organization in the U.S.
Since 2002, LUNGevity-funded scientific research projects have totaled more than
$19 million. This represents an investment in 110 projects at 57 institutions in 23
states. Our Scientific Advisory Board of leading researchers and clinicians guides our
funding of promising and innovative research into the early detection and targeted
treatment of lung cancer. LUNGevity also provides a community and resources for
those impacted by the disease, through peer-based support, medically expert
information, and the largest national network of grassroots events.
Did you know?
One in fourteen Americans will receive a diagnosis
of lung cancer during their lifetime • About 60% of all new lung cancer diagnoses
are among people who have never smoked or are former smokers • Each gender
accounts for about half of lung cancer diagnoses • More Americans die of lung
cancer than of colorectal, breast, and pancreatic, cancers combined • Because
there is no widely available, effective early diagnostic test for lung cancer, only 15%
of people will be diagnosed in the earliest, often symptomless stage • When lung
cancer is detected early, patients have more treatment options and better outcomes
Lung cancer statistics from the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Facts & Figures 2014, National Cancer Institute
SEER data 2012, and National Lung Cancer Partnership 2013
