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.  Since the Foundation began raising funds in 2003, it has awarded over $7 million in research grants for a disease that will claim an estimated 160,000 lives in the U.S this year. Uniting Against Lung Cancer is dedicated to funding innovative research that will help patients win their battle with lung cancer and lead healthy, cancer-free lives years after diagnosis.
