This inaugural event will be co-chaired by Meryl Bralower, Sondra Levenson and Stephanie Steinberg. These women have become articulate advocates about the need to educate people about lung cancer. Too many associate this disease and its causes with smoking. This is simply not the case. Meryl, a lung cancer survivor and never smoker, is one of the pioneers behind Uniting Against Lung Cancer New England. Since her diagnosis in 2005, Meryl's focus and mission has been to raise the profile of lung cancer and give it the attention it demands. Sondra and Stephanie have also been personally touched by this insidious disease. Sondra's sister and Stephanie's sister-in-law, Marjorie Korff, also a non-smoker, died of lung cancer in 2006. This event will celebrate Margie's life, as well as significantly increase awareness, encourage early detection, and fund ground breaking research. For more information about Margie please click here.
Join us! On May 19th we will announce two awards recognizing excellence in lung cancer research. Sponsoring one of these awards is a meaningful way to pay tribute to the life of a friend or family member or to celebrate a loved one’s survivorship. Contact us for more information about this special opportunity.
