This year marks the 10th anniversary of the LUNGevity Foundation Fall Benefit! We will again be showing a video of the "Faces of Lung Cancer." Please send us photos of your loved ones who have been affected by this disease. We will be adding these photos to the video that we showed last year, and would love for your photos to be included. The deadline for receipt of your photos is Monday, November 1; they should be emailed to faces@lungevity.org.

Thank you for your help,
