Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation

Did you know...

Lung cancer kills over 36,000 people in the UK every year, which is more than breast cancer, prostate cancer, bladder cancer and leukaemia combined.

Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer – it is not just a smokers disease and in fact the number of lung cancer deaths in never-smokers is higher than for many other cancers, including cervical, womb and bone cancers.

Half of all people with lung cancer will die within 6 months of diagnosis

The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation played a vital part in the smoking ban in public places

What makes Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation different

Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is solely dedicated to the defeat of lung cancer and the support of those living with the disease. It does not judge or stigmatise patients for past life choices that may have impacted on their health.

Other ways to support

Supporters can take part in a whole host of fun activities to raise money for the Foundation, from runs, swims and cycles to bake sales, raffles and ballroom dancing! Supporters can also help us raise awareness about the disease and the work of the Foundation by sharing social media posts and encouraging their friends and family to do the same.
