Who We Are
Pennsylvania Lung Cancer Partnership became the second state chapter of National Lung Cancer Partnership in May 2009 to support lung cancer research, awareness and change. Members include health care professionals, lung cancer survivors and advocates dedicated to decreasing deaths due to lung cancer and helping patients live longer and better. The first Free to Breathe® 5K Run/Walk was held in Philadelphia, PA in November 2006, and every year since on the first Sunday in November.
