El fin de semana de la marcha "Libres para respirar" brindó a supervivientes, cuidadores, amigos, familiares, personal médico y otros simpatizantes la oportunidad de unir fuerzas para financiar la investigación sobre el cáncer de pulmón.
Los actos de la marcha tuvieron lugar en Chicago y Kansas City, y se invitó a otras personas a unirse a la Marcha Libre para Respirar en Cualquier Lugar en sus propios barrios. Los caminantes y sus equipos seguirán recaudando fondos hasta finales de año.
In Kansas City, 120 participants raised $20,000 and enjoyed an uplifting day of community which included a 3-mile walk route. Special thanks to committee members Stephanie Brunkhorst, Steve Shelton, and Shana Abdullah for their efforts to bring the event to life. Steve shared his own lung cancer story during the opening ceremony.
Chicago‘s walk brought 550 participants together who raised over $140,000 for research. The morning featured family friendly activities such as face painting and tae kwon do, as well as a 2-mile walk route. LCRF board member Tejal Patel was the emcee for the opening ceremony, and Michelle Cihla shared her story as a survivor.
