Colorado Lungs4Life is dedicated to supporting lung cancer
research and individuals and families touched by the disease. The goal is to be the leader in Colorado
in lung cancer education, prevention and community support.
After several years of fundraising independently for the nation’s top cancer killer,
April Watson and Sonja Stubenvoll have decided to join forces to make a dramatic difference in lung cancer here in Colorado.
After devastating losses of family members, April, Sonja and their families sought local support for persons affected
by lung cancer, only to find little or no help was available. Though great strides have been made in lung
cancer research, they have all but gone unnoticed. Determined to make a change and start providing an avenue
of support as well as create a voice for lung cancer patients and families across Colorado, they began raising money to support
lung cancer research.
They came together as a group to form Colorado Lungs4Life after realizing everyone
wanted to ensure funds would go for local cancer research, breathing life into the organization.
Colorado Lungs4Life will facilitate educational programs, fund raising efforts, funding of lung cancer research, and
funding for families touched by the disease in Colorado. Initiatives will be met using multi-media systems
including the internet, television, radio, print, speaking engagements, and educational booths and events throughout the Denver
metro area.
