One Breath Bubble Challenge

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and we are excited to partner with the American Cancer Society to launch a unique social media campaign “Lung Cancer’s Breathin’ for a Reason: One Breath Bubble Challenge.”

What is the One Breath Bubble Challenge?

The concept is simple yet powerful: Participants blow bubbles with a single breath and challenge others to do the same.

Why bubbles? Bubbles symbolize the fragility of life and the importance of healthy lungs.

Key Messages

  1. Get Screened: If you or someone you know qualifies for lung cancer screening, please get screened—early detection saves lives!
  2. Know Your Biomarkers: If you or a loved one is diagnosed with lung cancer, it’s essential to test for biomarkers. Personalized treatments based on these markers lead to better outcomes. With today’s medical advancements, lung cancer—at any stage—is no longer a death sentence.
  3. Break the Stigma: Lung cancer doesn’t come with shame or blame. Nobody deserves lung cancer, and no one should face it alone. Our goal is to build a supportive community where people can talk openly and feel less isolated in their journey.
