Joan's
Legacy: Uniting Against Lung Cancer was
founded in 2001 in memory of Joan
Scarangello, a
non-smoker who lost her
battle with lung cancer. In just seven
years, the foundation has awarded over
$10 million in research grants for
diagnosis, treatment and a cure for lung
cancer. Lung cancer is the nation's #1
cancer killer, claiming more than
160,000 lives in the
U.S.
this year alone.
