Caine Halter Lungs for Life run/walk in Greenville, SC

Join other South Carolinians for the inaugural Caine Halter Lungs for Life run/walk and join the fight against lung cancer. The Lungs for Life mission is to promote awareness of this deadly disease, fund critical research and help to provide hope for the future.
Caine Halter was a healthy, 45-year old non-smoker whose life was taken by lung cancer in August 2007 after a valiant 13-month battle. Inspired by his courage and grace, Caine's family and friends are committed to raising funds for lung cancer research in his honor, so that others diagnosed may have a fighting chance to live.

Lung cancer is the #1 cancer-killer of both men and women in the US, but receives the least research funding. Your participation and support CAN make a difference in this fight. Run or Walk. Start or Join a Team. Raise Pledges. Make Donations. Give Any Way You Can.

All proceeds from the Caine Halter Lungs for Life event will benefit Uniting Against Lung Cancer, a 501(c)(3) organization that is committed to funding innovative research and finding a cure for lung cancer.
