Lungs for Life

One Breath, One Step

Welcome to Lungs for Life, a community-led team under the Ruby’s Breath of Hope Foundation, committed to raising awareness and funds for lung cancer research and support services across Australia.

This campaign is deeply personal. I'm Ruby, 16 years old, and I've watched cancer touch the lives of those I love—my Nanna battled breast cancer when I was just 11, and my great aunt is currently facing terminal lung cancer. These experiences have shaped me. They've taught me the importance of hope, the urgency of support, and the power of action.

Through this initiative, we’re collecting donations to fuel:

  • Lung cancer research: Supporting innovation in treatment, early detection, and prevention

  • Public education: Breaking down stigma and increasing awareness about who lung cancer affects

  • Patient support services: Helping families and individuals navigate the emotional and practical challenges of diagnosis and care

Every dollar you give helps real people like my aunt to access better care, find comfort in support networks, and push toward a future where lung cancer isn't a life sentence. We partner with trusted charities such as Lung Foundation Australia and Cancer Council SA, ensuring your contributions reach programs that truly make a difference.

Join us in breathing hope into every home, every hospital, and every heart affected by lung cancer. Together, we can take a stand, share the load, and create change, one breath at a time.

Thank you to our Sponsors
