Description

Linda was shocked to be diagnosed with  the #1 Cancer Killer - Lung Cancer, because she Never Smoked...Her lung cancer journey has been educational.  

That is why Linda and her husband/coach Jerry, ran a 5K race in all 50 states 2012-2014. Now they are running a 10K in every continent because, they want everyone to know, lung cancer is a brutal, silent, deadly disease that can strike! anyone at any age! Even Never Smokers!  Men and Women who have never been exposed to second or third had smoke; or radon. Lung Cancer killed 220,000 men and men in 2014. Lung Cancer kills more Women than Breast Cancer. Lung Cancer kills more Men that Prostrate cancer, each year!!! With proper DIAGNOSSIS and proper TREATMENT lives can be saved. LUNG CANCER STIGMA is as brutal as the disease so we are fighting back in two ways: 1) is with the Healthy Lung Research Study 2) Raising desperately needed research funds so Lung Cancer  researchers can continue to find more cures for lung cancer and give victims quality of life.
LUNG CANCER RESEARCH FUNDS are desperately needed for RESEARCH'S who continue to find' targeted therapies' that can give women and men "Quality Of Life"! Linda and Jerry continue to 'Race to Beat The Odds';  Currently their next goal is to run a 10K race in every continent, to prove you can survive lung cancer. All DONATIONS and funds raised at RUNNING LUNGS RACES sponsored by WortmanLungCancerFoundation 501(c)(3) goes to Mayo Clinic lung cancer researchers, because these researchers are leading the lung cancer Race+Research=Results to save lives.
