The Collaborative

Every 2 minutes, someone is told they have lung cancer. That’s 643 people a day—each one a story, a family, a future. Early detection saves lives. Let’s raise awareness, foster hope, and push for progress.

Join LCFA on August 1 for World Lung Cancer Day. Together, we can make a difference.

“The community feel of this event confirms my belief that being connected helps fill the void that some may fill with substances instead. We need more game nights and broomball!”

From the trusted adult of an RTU participant,
“Connecting with others takes effort and will. It can be awkward at first, but after the first barrier is tackled, you enter the safety net that is made up with others. That trajectory itself is [an] accomplishment in the context of substance misuse prevention.”
