Rhode Island Heroes Unite to Double Lung Cancer Survival

Lung cancer takes more lives than breast, prostate, and colon cancer combined. Rhode Island-area residents can join the movement to defeat lung cancer at the Seventh Annual Rhode Island Free to Breathe 5K run/walk and 1-mile walk on October 19 with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting Free to Breathe’s research, education and awareness programs.

Register, raise funds, and run or walk – that’s all it takes to be a hero in the eyes of a person facing lung cancer.

Join hundreds of community members as they gather for a day of impact at the Rhode Island Free to Breathe Run/Walk, October 19 at Slater Memorial Park. Newport Avenue, Pawtucket, RI 02861.

The inspirational event, presented by Rhode Island Medical Imaging, will feature a 5k run/walk and 1-mile walk for all fitness levels, with awards for top fundraisers and finishers.

All proceeds from the event support Free to Breathe, a nonprofit lung cancer research and advocacy organization dedicated to ensuring surviving lung cancer is the expectation, not the exception. Help us double lung cancer survival by 2022! To register and begin fundraising, visit www.freetobreathe.org
