The Face of Lung Cancer Support and Information Website Launches to Increase Awareness and Advocacy
Date:11/9/2009

elow 16%, nearly the same as in 1971. Leading researchers and physicians acknowledge that the social stigma attached to lung cancer continues to impede the funding necessary to affect change.”

The organization does not solicit donations or profit in any way from its constituents, existing solely to serve the community of victims and survivors of lung cancer. Support comes from the community the website seeks to build, and from providing the necessary information for taking action.

“The Lung Cancer Mortality Reduction Act (HR 2112/S 332) would establish a comprehensive, inter-agency response to significantly reduce lung cancer deaths by 2015,” says Loesel. “This is the kind of comprehensive response initiated to tackle breast cancer 30 years ago. Nearly 200,000 people are dying every year while we wait for our elected officials to move this bill out of committee and enact it in 2010 as promised.”

Loesel adds, “My organization’s message is that it is time to advocate for ourselves and push for their response.”

For more information, visit the new website of The Face of Lung Cancer support organization.
