About This Event: Breathe Deep Salt Lake City is a grassroots event in celebration of Jan Poulsen's tenth year of lung cancer survivorship. The Poulsen family had little information about lung cancer when Jan was diagnosed, so they turned to LUNGevity Foundation for answers and participated in another LUNGevity event, Breathe Deep Los Angeles. Now, they are excited to provide the Salt Lake City area with the same education and support they received from LUNGevity! Breathe Deep Salt Lake City, which will raise critically needed funds for lung cancer research, is a 5K walk in the gorgeous Sugarhouse Park. Joine us for a morning of celebrating lung cancer survivors, honoring those currently fighting the lung cancer battle, and remembering those loved ones who have lost the battle.
About LUNGevity Foundation: LUNGevity Foundation is firmly committed to making an immediate impact on increasing quality of life and survivorship of people with lung cancer by accelerating research into early detection and more effective treatments, as well as providing community, support, and education for all those affected by the disease. Our vision is a world where no one dies of lung cancer.

Mission Statement
LUNGevity Foundation is firmly committed to making an immediate impact on increasing quality of life and survivorship of people with lung cancer by accelerating research into early detection and more effective treatments, as well as providing community, support, and education for all those affected by the disease.
Description
We focus on research because the link between research spending and improved survival is clear. Survival rates have dramatically improved for colorectal, breast, and prostate cancers over the last several decades in step with the exponential growth in their research spending. Our goal is to accelerate progress for lung cancer in the same way, in order to dramatically improve on the current 17% five-year survival rate.
To date, LUNGevity has funded 115 research projects at 58 institutions in 23 states. LUNGevity research investments focus on early detection, because survival rates rise when lung cancer is detected while still localized. We also focus on more effective treatment approaches-getting the right treatment to the right patient at the right time to help people with lung cancer live longer and better.
LUNGevity also provides a community of empowerment, support, and hope for everyone affected by lung cancer through our extensive educational resources, online peer-to-peer support, and in-person survivorship programs, as well as more than 80 grassroots awareness and fundraising events held from coast to coast each year.
