Did you know that lung cancer kills more than 160,000 people annually in the US – more people than breast, colon and prostate cancers combined? Get the facts:

Free to Breathe Event Update - 29 days left - Please help us reach our goal!

We now have 40 members on Team Haney! Registration closes on 10/15, so if you'd like to join our team, please make sure to do so this week: http://participate.freetobreathe.org/goto/teamhaney

In less then 3 weeks we've nearly tripled our amount raised, but we still need your help! We're just 16% of the way to our goal. Please read the following note that Steph wrote recently and consider donating (even if its just a few dollars!) to our cause:

Remember that lung cancer is the leading cancer killer. It kills more people than breast, prostate, colon, liver, kidney and melanoma cancers…COMBINED! It kills almost twice as many women as breast cancer. And that amounts to about 440 people per day. Only 15% of lung cancer patients survive more than five years, with most of those having been early, and probably accidental, diagnoses. 2007 research spending per death for lung cancer, $1,414 (a decrease from 2005), and $23,754 for breast cancer (an increase from 2005).
