GO2 for Lung Cancer serves and listens to those living with and at risk for lung cancer to reduce stigma, improve quality of life and increase survival.

We empower our community by helping people navigate the paths of early detection, diagnosis and treatment. Insights allow us to improve care, amplify awareness, drive advocacy and lead research. GO2 for Lung Cancer is uniquely poised to take doubling the five-year lung cancer survival rate to 40% over the next four years.
