Rare forms of lung cancer can affect anyone at any age, including those who have never smoked. The Ruth Strauss foundation provides research grants and support to patients and their families.

ABOUT US

What we do

Fighting the lung cancers you don’t hear about. Supporting the suffering you don’t see

Support

Cancer places an enormous emotional burden on patients and their families. That burden shifts and changes according to where a patient lies within their unique cancer journey, as well as family circumstances.

The Ruth Strauss Foundation provides grants to charities and organisations that specialise in providing psychological, emotional and wellbeing support to both patients and their families, including bereavement services.

Research

Lung cancer is one of the most common and serious types of cancer. In the UK around 45,000 people every year are diagnosed and only 1 in 20 will survive over 10 years.

Rare forms make up 10%-15% of all lung cancers, with younger people and women more likely to be diagnosed. As the majority of these people have never smoked symptoms are easily mistaken for other less serious conditions and the cancer is often diagnosed too late, when it has already spread.

Donate

Your support is so important, and you can help in many different ways.

Every pound you donate will make a difference in funding visionary research and vital wellbeing support to meet the practical, emotional and social needs of people with cancer.

You can make a donation of any amount at any time – either as a one-off or a regular payment. Alternatively, you can join one of our fundraising events, create your own event or volunteer and help make our events happen.
