We DID IT! The GRG Network was the VIP Champagne sponsor for The inaugural Lung Force Gala held on June 28, 2014. Amazing folks gave tributes and performed beautifully! Kim Coles, Evette Nicole Brown, Senator Holly Mitchell and Lily Tomlin sent a lovely video tribute to honor Kathryn Joosten for her tireless work to educate and make the public aware of the facts about LUNG CANCER and that it's not just a smokers disease, anyone can get it!
THE ISSUE: WOMEN’S LUNG HEALTH
Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer of women, surpassing breast cancer in 1987.
•Every 5 minutes, a woman in the U.S. is told she has lung cancer.
•Every 8 minutes, a woman in the U.S. dies of lung cancer.
•It is estimated that lung cancer represented more than 1 in 4 female cancer deaths in 2012.
•Lung cancer diagnosed and treated at an early stage has a much higher survival rate, but most cases are not diagnosed until later stages.

American Lung Association - Fight for Air Climbs
Fight for Air Climbs are unique fundraising events for the American Lung Association. They usually happen in prominent skyscrapers, stadiums or arenas and involve climbing multiple steps. Sometimes called a "vertical road race", teams and individual participants can use the event as a fitness target, as a race, with you challenging yourself or you racing against other people, or as a great way to be active and meet new friends. American Lung Association Climbs are also a wonderful way to support someone who has lung disease or as a memorial to someone who has passed away.
