A Breath of Hope Lung Cancer Foundation

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death, yet lung cancer gets far less funding and support than other cancers.

We are changing that.

When A Breath of Hope was founded 20 years ago, lung cancer survival rates were just 6%. Today, thanks to advances in early detection, research, education, and patient support, the national survival rate has climbed to 28%, with Minnesota leading the way at 33%.

At A Breath of Hope, we fund cutting-edge research, provide life-saving education, and offer critical support services for patients, caregivers, and families. From peer companionship and grief support to transportation and wellness programs, we ensure no one faces lung cancer alone. Our programs improve survival, empower patients, and give families hope.

What your donation supports

• Education and support so patients understand their diagnosis, ask the right questions, and receive the care that’s most effective.

• Research and early detection, so that more people are diagnosed earlier when therapies are most effective and survival is greatest.

• Wider access to biomarker testing and newer therapies that directly translate into longer, better lives.

• Patient services that remove barriers (travel, support groups, survivorship) so that no one faces lung cancer alone.
