Join Me in the Fight Against Lung Cancer

Hello! My name is Arlie Jones. This November, I’m challenging myself to complete the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon while raising funds for GO2 for Lung Cancer. 

This year, my family faced an unimaginable loss. My beloved aunt Cory, a beautiful soul who touched the lives of everyone around her, passed away from Stage 4 Lung Cancer. Cory was the most genuine person I knew, always standing by what she believed in and living unapologetically as herself. She inspired me every single day to love hard, to always be "true and honest", and to enjoy all things life has to offer. Especially delicious food! 

She was extremely brave and fought ferociously against this disease for a long time. In her honor, I am dedicated to supporting GO2 for Lung Cancer, a charity that’s leading the charge against this formidable illness.

Lung cancer is a critical health issue affecting countless lives. Nearly 234,580 Americans will be diagnosed with lung cancer this year alone. It is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, claiming more lives annually than colorectal, pancreatic, breast, or prostate cancer combined. And, despite its severity, lung cancer receives the least amount of federal research funding.

GO2 for Lung Cancer is making a significant impact through various initiatives:

• Support: Providing assistance to thousands of people touched by lung cancer.
• Research: Mobilizing science and research to accelerate the discovery of treatments and cures.
• Healthcare Excellence: Establishing Centers of Excellence for lung cancer screening and multidisciplinary care.
• Advocacy: Shaping health policy through national advocacy efforts.
• Awareness: Raising awareness and engaging the community to ignite a national dialogue about lung cancer.

I’m reaching out to you to because we can help make a difference. By donating, you will contribute to supporting patients and their families with vital resources, accelerating research to find better treatments and ultimately a cure, and raising awareness about lung cancer, its impact, and the need for increased funding and research.

Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to a world where lung cancer no longer claims the lives of our loved ones. Together, we can honor Cory’s memory and support those currently battling this disease.

Thank you for your generosity and support.

Arlie
