Breathe Deep Columbus

Anyone with lungs can get lung cancer. Yet stigma and lack of awareness still leave too many people feeling isolated after a diagnosis.

On Saturday, October 17, the Columbus community will come together to change that.

LUNGevity Foundation is bringing Breathe Deep Columbus to Scioto Audubon Metro Park, bringing people affected by lung cancer—survivors, caregivers, families, friends, and advocates—together for a morning of connection, learning, and action.

Breathe Deep Columbus creates a welcoming space for people to come together in support of the lung cancer community, whether they’re honoring someone they love, supporting a friend or family member, or simply learning more about lung health. The event will also highlight progress being made in lung cancer research and the importance of continued awareness, advocacy, and support.
