November is #LungCancerAwarenessMonth.
Swipe to learn the common symptoms of lung cancer.
Knowing what’s normal for you can help you spot when something changes. It could be nothing serious, but it’s always worth getting checked.

Cancer treatment is more than just chemotherapy. Patients, survivors and their loved ones need support and community — which is exactly why the Lymphoma Research Foundation exists.

Today on National Lung Health Day, #crypto donors just pushed LCFA past $1M in crypto gifts! We cannot thank you enough.
$1M = years of funded lung cancer research. Our grants have drawn 13X return in follow-on research funding.
More time for researchers = more time for patients =
more Halloweens with their kids,
more game nights with friends,
more time to spend with people we love.

We’re excited to announce that Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation has officially surpassed $400M raised in the fight against childhood cancer! 🎉🎉🎉
It all traces back to our founder, Alex Scott, whose lemonade stand inspired a nationwide grassroots movement that’s made this progress possible since her first stand in 2000:
🍋 Funded more than 1,500 research projects across North America and Europe
🍋 In 1997, when Alex was diagnosed with cancer, survival rates for childhood cancer were just 77%. Today, they’re 85% in the U.S.
🍋 Since our first grant, FDA-approved childhood cancer treatments have increased from 18 to more than 60 today.
Thank you to every corporate partner, fundraiser, donor, event attendee and anyone who's helped deliver this incredible progress. We won’t stop until a future free of childhood cancer becomes a reality.
A great gesture from NBA star Brandon Miller! Inspired by his mother’s breast cancer journey, the Charlotte Hornets player provided 500 tickets for breast cancer survivors and their families to enjoy!
