Education. Community. Empowerment.
Our common enemy is lung cancer. But there is strength in numbers, especially when we have a united voice.

Welcome to LiveLung!
Lung cancer may be the most misunderstood of all diseases. Most people know very little about lung cancer until it directly impacts their lives. Although the lung cancer landscape had been dismal for decades, positive change has finally come and more is on the horizon. In recent years, increasing public awareness, screening guidelines, and research breakthroughs have led to more effective treatments, which significantly extend and improve the lives of many impacted by the disease. There is much more to be done, but we are making progress every day.
Founded by lung cancer survivor, Dusty Donaldson, in 2010, LiveLung is on a mission to improve health outcomes by advancing lung cancer education, early detection, and compassion for people impacted by lung cancer. We do this by hosting a network of monthly educational community lung cancer patient groups. We provide resource bags, called Hope Totes, to dozens of cancer centers where nurse navigators give them to newly diagnosed lung cancer patients. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving the lung cancer community.
