my dad died 4 weeks ago from lung cancer it was a battle for him but he not in pain now he had my step mum there every moment of every day to help him it would of been so much harder if she had not been there for us all xxx

Strength and courage to all the brave people that are facing this terrible condition, my Sister in Law lost her fight 19 year ago to this, and now her only daughter my Niece Laura Mackenzie lost her fight to this as well.... but Laura never gave up she was determined not to be a statistic and to live life to the full, she has left so much love behind her and we are determined to help raise awareness of this condition..

I hope they find a cure soon so no-body else has too suffer this horrible disease.
