THANK YOU, Charlotte!


Because of you, the Charlotte LUNGe Forward 5K Run, Walk & Celebration—co-presented by Atrium Health and Charlotte Radiology—was a record-breaking success. We raised $120,496 so far and officially surpassed $1 million in total fundraising since our inaugural event in 2013.

 

Endless gratitude to our participants, donors, incredible committee, volunteers, sponsors, vendors, and the courageous survivors who shared their stories. You made this day truly unforgettable.

 

It’s not too late to give—and your support matters now more than ever. Every dollar helps us drive research, provide critical support, and bring hope to those impacted by lung cancer. Together, we can make an even bigger impact.

DONATE TODAY!

And don’t forget! Many employers offer matching gift programs, which means your donation could be doubled or even tripled—whether you’re a current or retired employee!
