Bill Patricia Lung cancer survivor Linda Ehle, of Vancouver, Washington, is the latest recipient of a national cash award that recognizes people living with lung cancer.

More people need to know about it. The statistics are totally unacceptable. To challenge them we need much earlier detection. Lung cancer is the top cancer killer of American men and women. The American Cancer Society estimates that this year about 164,000 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer and nearly 160,000 will die of the disease.
