Christine Lovly: Kicking off Lung Cancer Awareness Month with a message of hope from lung cancer survivor

Christine Lovly, Associate Professor of Medicine at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, shared a post on X by ALK Positive, adding:

“Kicking off Lung Cancer Awareness Month with a message of hope from lung cancer survivor and ALK Positive, Kirk!

The photo below from famous Nashville ‘What Lifts You’ mural. Patients like Kirk lift me every day with their passion, fortitude, strength and hope.”

Quoting ALK Positive’s post:

“It’s day 1 of Lung Cancer Awareness Month! Anyone can get lung cancer. Like Kirk, a business owner and mountain biker/runner.

Research brings therapies so people like Kirk with ALK+ LC can stay on the move. Help us fund more research.”
