Help The Joan Gaeta Lung Cancer Foundation

The Joan Gaeta Lung Cancer Foundation

Atlanta, Georgia

Cause Description:
Established in the fall of 2007, The Joan Gaeta Lung Cancer Foundation was created by her husband and children to raise awareness of the disease, to educate the public, and to raise research funds for a cure. A life long non-smoker, Joan was a devoted wife, teacher, and mother of five. Diagnosed in early 2004, she fought a three and a half year battle before succumbing to the cancer in July of 2007. During that time, Joan stressed the need for greater awareness of lung cancer (the number one cancer killer in the world), its low survival rate, and its tragic lack of research funds. She was most passionate about eliminating the stigma of the disease, since lung cancer also strikes non-smokers at a high rate. For Joan is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
