Roy Castle Lung Foundation
http://roycastle.org/

The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation is the only charity in the UK wholly dedicated to defeating lung cancer.

This is what they do...

• Fund research into the early diagnosis of the disease
• Provide support to patients and their families
• Help people to quit smoking and providing anti-smoking education for children and young people
• Give a voice to those affected by lung cancer through our campaigning work

This is why they exist...

• You are just as likely to die from lung cancer today as you were if you were diagnosed forty years ago (3.2% in the early 1970s to 5.3% in 2007).
• Lung cancer is the UK's biggest cancer killer, with almost 35,000 people dying every year – that's one person every 15 minutes.
• Each year, around 39,750 people are diagnosed with lung cancer in the UK, that's 109 people every day.
• It is known as the Cinderella Cancer as less than 5% of all funding is invested in research into lung cancer.
