Celebrating Courage: Honoring Colin Barton

At the 2025 ALK Summit in San Diego, we proudly introduced the Colin Barton Spirit of Courage Award — a tribute to one of the most influential leaders in our community.

From helping launch ALK Positive and building the foundation of our Medical Committee, to personally fueling groundbreaking research and inspiring millions in donations, Colin’s courage has shaped who we are and what’s possible.

For nearly a decade, Colin has been a visionary, a mentor, a tireless advocate, and a friend. His leadership continues to move our mission forward — improving life expectancy, quality of life, and building hope for ALK-positive cancer patients around the world.

👏 Join us in celebrating Colin, his extraordinary impact, and the legacy of courage that will guide this award for years to come.

Don’t miss this Sunday’s ALKtALK with Dr. Karen Schurgin @ 7pm ET

She’s back with her signature blend of wit, wisdom, and honesty for a conversation many of us need right now: how to cope with the holidays while living with a terminal illness.

For ALK patients and their loved ones, the holiday season can magnify what we already navigate every day — the fear, the fatigue, the pressure to “be festive,” and the ache of wondering what the future holds. Dr. Schurgin will offer compassionate, practical strategies to help you make meaning this season and prepare your mindset for 2026.

We’ll explore:
• Handling insensitive or uninformed comments
• Setting boundaries (and saying no without guilt)
• Facing the fear of “What if this is my last holiday?”
• Navigating holiday depression and anxiety
• Managing fatigue in a season of over-doing

Whether you’re a patient or a caregiver, newly diagnosed or years into treatment, this ALKtALK will leave you feeling grounded, supported, and empowered.

Bring your questions. There will be Q&A throughout the session.

This ALKtALK will be recorded and uploaded to the ALK Positive YouTube channel.

This community just accomplished something extraordinary.

Together during Lung Cancer Awareness Month, you helped raise over $1.3 million to accelerate ALK-positive cancer research!

Every story shared, every fundraiser hosted, and every gift made helped move research forward in a meaningful way. You are driving the advances that bring better treatments, stronger support, and more time to people living with ALK-positive cancer.

And we are not done.

There is still critical work ahead: clinical trials to launch, studies to fund, and new developments waiting to be discovered. Progress happens because this community continues to show up.

If you’re able, we invite you to keep this momentum going.

Your gift today fuels what comes next. More research. More hope. More time.

ALK-positive cancer research is stronger than ever, and today on Giving Tuesday, we have the opportunity to accelerate it even further.

Promising breakthroughs and new treatment strategies are on the horizon. Research will continue to redefine what it means to live with ALK-positive cancer — and Giving Tuesday is a powerful moment for all of us to advance that progress.

Your gift, no matter the size, helps move research forward faster.

Your support, collaboration, and commitment to advancing ALK-positive cancer research continue to drive progress and hope.

Every breakthrough, every trial, and every step forward is made possible through partnership. Your dedication fuels innovation, strengthens our mission, and gives families in our community more time — more moments, more options, more hope.

Pfizer | Nuvalent | Takeda | Break Through Cancer | Genentech | Astellas | Guardant Health | Foundation Medicine

Together, we are moving science forward. 💙

11/30/2025

While today marks the end of Lung Cancer Awareness Month, the need for research — and for more time — continues.

All month, we’ve shared stories from people in our community about what they would do with more time. For many, it’s simple: more sleepovers with grandkids, more bike rides, more laughter, more everyday moments.

More research makes those moments possible. It fuels breakthroughs, extends lives, and gives families space to breathe, hope, plan, and dream.

If you haven’t made your LCAM gift yet — or if you’re able to go a little further — you can still be part of what creates more time for someone you love, or maybe even for yourself.

Every gift matters.
Every moment matters.
Every one of us makes a difference.

On a day when many are focused on gift-giving, consider the most meaningful gift of all: time with the people we love.

For people with ALK+ lung cancer—like Dana, Laura, Jordan, Jennifer, and Craig—more time means more priceless moments with their families. The big milestones: helping children launch their lives, watching nieces and nephews graduate, seeing their kids get married and have their own children. And the small ones, too: another Halloween costume, another playdate with the grandkids.

Every moment counts.
And more research means more of those moments.

Donate today to support research that gives people with ALK+ lung cancer what they need most: more time.
