I am going to the 2018 National HOPE Summit!! It's a survivorship conference for people impacted by lung cancer- the largest gathering of lung cancer patient-survivors in the country! There will be amazing keynote speakers and world renowned lung cancer experts there. There are some seats left so register now before it closes. They can give you a grant to waive the registration fee if you need help. They also have a few travel grants available for patients attending for the first time. Learn more here lungevity.org/dchope and I hope to see you there!

Wonderful. I’ll pm you when I know what I’ll be doing. I volunteered to man a table at the Rally.

We are making shirts and bring posters, any suggestion on what the shirts should say or what to write on the posters? This is my first rally.

I’m going to pm you with contact info. For others following this thread we are talking about this:

It’s free to participate. Because #433aDay die from lung cancer and that is a national emergency.

I'll be at LUNGevity's Hope Summit also! I have not missed one yet (I think this will be my 13th, I lost count). I look forward to it every year. I will also be at the Life and Breath Rally on Capital Hill that week. Looking forward to seeing my "Family" and meeting new friends!

Hi Alisa! Hey you live in NY right, how to you get to the Summit? I'm outside of Philly I usually drive but this year was going to take the train. Then just use Uber or Lyft for transportation to and from hotel and rally.
