Join us in the fresh air for this year’s LUNG FORCE Walk.
We're coming together safely and responsibly to make a difference in the lives of people with lung cancer and lung disease. Now more than ever, we need you with us.
There's never been a more urgent demand for our services, as we work to advance lifesaving research and preventative health initiatives, like the COVID-19 vaccine.
Register today and save your spot at the LUNG FORCE Walk - Providence on June 12, 2021 at 9:00 AM (ET). When you make a self-donation of $33 or more, you will receive an official American Lung Association Sports Scarf.
Your participation will turn small steps into great strides toward a future free of lung cancer and lung disease.

You are encouraged to use a cell phone to take the online screening, and take a screenshot of your passing results. Note: adult guardians can take the screening on behalf of minor participants.
