Richard’s Story

This year 200000 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer, and each year 160000 lives are lost to the deadly disease. No one deserves to die from lung cancer; not the one in five patients who has never smoked, or the three in five who have already quit, or the one in five who has been unable to quit. No one.
