A Breath of Hope Lung Foundation

About A Breath of Hope Lung Foundation (ABOHLF):

ABOHLF was founded in 2007 by a group of Minnesota lung cancer patients, their families and their oncology nurse. The group recognized that this highly stigmatized and deadly disease would only receive the attention and funding it deserves through ongoing advocacy and public education. The founders planned the First Annual Twin Cities Lung Run/Walk in 2007 to educate the public about lung cancer, support lung cancer patients and their families, and raise money to support vastly underfunded U.S. lung cancer projects. The group incorporated in 2008. Our signature event, the Twin Cities Lung Run/Walk has continued to grow, drawing 2000 people in recent years and raising more than $200,000/year for programming and research fellowships.

With a survival rate less than 18%, lung cancer is the deadliest of all cancers claiming more lives each year than breast, colon and prostate cancers combined. Half of the lives lost each year are people who never smoked or had quit smoking. Low income communities are hardest hit by lung cancer and most likely to be diagnosed in late stages.

Regardless of personal choices and the cause of the disease, ABOHLF knows that lung cancer is anyone’s cancer and we believe every life is worth fighting for.
