This year there is no fee to register, so there is no barrier to participate! Instead, we are hoping everyone commits to funding 1 hour of life-saving research by raising $100 and earning an event t-shirt. If it’s easier, just email Kelsey, kholewinski@lcrf.org and she will register you. She’s also available as a fundraising resource and is happy to help with any questions you may have.
Thank you for your support and helping us improve lung cancer outcomes!
