Our dad is turning 80 this year—a milestone we are deeply grateful to celebrate.
In October 2022, he was diagnosed with ALK-positive lung cancer, a rare form of cancer that was only discovered in 2007. Today, about 5% of lung cancer patients are diagnosed with ALK-positive lung cancer, with approximately 72,000 new cases each year, mostly affecting non-smokers.
Instead of traditional birthday gifts, we invite you to join us in supporting a cause that is incredibly close to our hearts: ALK cancer research. Thanks to ongoing research, remarkable advancements have been made in ALK cancer treatments, with the median survival rate continuing to improve as new treatments and medications are developed.
Every donation, no matter the size, will directly fund vital research that could make a profound difference for our dad and countless others battling this disease.
Thank you for your love, support, and generosity. Together, we can honor our dad's incredible life and help change the future for others like him.
