DID YOU KNOW? One in 16 people in the US will be diagnosed with Lung Cancer in their lifetime. More than 228,000 people in the US will be diagnosed with Lung Cancer this year, with a new diagnosis every 2.3 minutes.

The 2nd Annual Run 4 Your Lungs 5K Run/Walk will raise awareness and provide funding for LDCT Lung Screenings in the early detection of Lung Cancer.  Early detection leads to better outcomes.

Join us as we run/walk through the beautiful campus of Florida Southwestern State College.  Show your support for those currently battling Lung Cancer, for the survivors, and in memory of those lost to this disease.
