Amber will be speaking about the American Lung Associations LUNG FORCE initiative. LUNG FORCE unites everyone to stand together against lung cancer and for lung health. Only a force of many can take on lung cancer, the #1 cancer killer of men and women in the United States. We work to change people’s minds about what it means to have lung cancer—so that everyone understands their risks. We raise our voices for innovations in research that will lead to earlier detection and more personalized treatments—so that everyone has a fighting chance. We stand together against lung cancer and for lung health. We stand together as one LUNG FORCE—for our breath, for our lives.
