Why These Women Are Fighting
American Lung Association Special Promotion
Women business leaders in Hawaii are fighting to educate people about the need for more awareness and funding for the #1 cancer killer of women: lung cancer.
These women have united through Lung Force, a new national movement led by the American Lung Association to unite women against lung cancer, a disease that kills almost twice as many women as breast cancer.
Lung Force has three priorities:
- Make lung cancer a cause that people care about – and act on
- Educate and empower patients and healthcare providers
- Raise critical funds for lung cancer research
As businesswomen, these individuals understand the importance of giving back to the community through Lung Force and a host of other non-profit organizations. Here are their stories:
