About The Event
Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, yet it is underfunded compared to other cancers.

Why This Cause Matters
This event is a heartfelt initiative by Gabriella Celona, Community Liaison and Event Coordinator at Advanced Therapy Center, inspired by the journey of her beloved grandparents, Linda and Louis Fronduto. Both were deeply affected by lung cancer, and their resilience motivates this fundraiser to honor their memory and support others battling this disease.
Gabriella’s Story:
“My Nana was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer in 2015. Her strength and courage were unmatched as she participated in 12 clinical trials over nearly nine years. A few months before her passing, my Grandpa received the same diagnosis and just recently passed away on January 19th. This event is a tribute to their legacy and a step toward a world where families no longer have to endure such loss.”
