Dedication
This website is dedicated to the memory of Marcia; a wife, mother and friend, who touched the lives of so many with her positive attitude and joy for living. Although her life on earth ended far too soon, her spirit lives on through the Marcia Lemkin Foundation.

 The Silent Killer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women. It was estimated by the American Cancer Society that there would be 154,900 deaths from lung cancer in 2002 (89,200 among men and 65,700 among women), accounting for 28% of all cancer deaths. According to the American Cancer Society, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined!

Our Mission
The mission of The Marcia Lemkin Foundation is to create public awareness of the necessity for early detection screening for lung cancer, to make available the most current information pertaining to lung cancer research, and to provide a national forum for lung cancer patients, survivors and their families. The Marcia Lemkin Foundation is supported by people like you--people who want to make a difference and we greatly appreciate your help.
