Lung Cancer Circle Of Hope

Lung Cancer Circle of Hope(LCCH) is solely devoted to increasing awareness of the #1 cancer killer of men and women through education, advocacy and support of lung cancer research. We are committed to decreasing the incidence and mortality rate of this insidious disease.

Description:
Since our incorporation in January, 2006 we have co-sponsored nine symposiums, working with Saint Peter's Hospital, Morristown Memorial, Princeton University Medical Center, and others. Our goal is to empower the public with necessary information; provide the latest facts to health care professionals and public policy makers and to erase the stigma associated with lung cancer:namely that it is the victim's fault. Smoker or non, no one deserves lung cancer.
LCCH is working to have the State Legislature enact legislation to detect and mitigate radon, which is the second leading cause of lung cancer (after second hand smoke).
We have also announced the award of the Chasia Prize to a pre-doctoral student in NJ to encourage lung cancer discovery.Research to find a cure for the leading cause of cancer death is the least funded.

History:
We have been in existence since January, 2006.
We received our 501(c)(3) in June, 2006.
LCCH is the only nonprofit group based in NJ that is exclusively focused on lung cancer.
