About this event
My name is Michael Osborne. I am a lung cancer
survivor and the volunteer event coordinator for Breathe Deep Columbia. Did you
know that lung cancer is the top cancer killer in the United States, claiming approximately
160,000 lives per year? It is a devastating disease that can afflict anyone, regardless of
smoking history, gender, or ethnicity, including me. All proceeds from this event go to
the LUNGevity Foundation to fund lung cancer research.
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
Lung cancer takes more lives
annually in the U.S. than the
next top three cancers combined

Lung cancer impacts many Americans: the 1 in 14 who
will be diagnosed with it during their lifetime as well as countless family members,
friends, and caregivers. Your sponsorship of this event will result in a visible partnership
with LUNGevity to stop this terrible disease that affects every race, gender, and age; it
