Join us in fundraising and help those suffering with lung cancer whilst virtually swimming towards success!

We know that lung cancer is a disease that affects so many people; young and old, men and women, smoker, non-smoker and never smoker, lung cancer can affect anyone.

Taking more lives than breast, prostate and pancreatic cancers combined, lung cancer tears thousands of families apart and the pandemic has only made an already devastating disease even more deadly.

Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is the only charity in the UK solely dedicated to supporting people affected by all forms of the disease and leading the charge to improve outcomes so people can live through lung cancer rather than die of it.

Our research into early detection has laid the groundwork for lung cancer screening and we are proud to be supporting NHS England on the rollout of its Targeted Lung Health Check programmes. Early diagnosis is key, and these life-saving initiatives mean more people will be able to have curative treatment.

In addition to funding over £30 million into lung cancer research, Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation supports thousands of people living with the disease, many of whom have continued to shield throughout the entire pandemic. From online support sessions to our Ask the Nurse helpline, 24-hour forum and patient grants, our practical, emotional and financial support have been a vital lifeline during the most anxious of times.

But we cannot do it alone. With your support, we can get lung cancer back on track. With your help, we can ensure that more people are diagnosed earlier. Together, we can save lives.
