1,600 Gather in Deerfield to Fight Lung Cancer

Breathe Deep North Shore raised more than $200,000, exceeding its fundraising goal.

More than 1,600 runners, walkers and volunteers came out on a dreary Sunday to help raise money to fight lung cancer at the annual Breathe Deep North Shore event in Deerfield.

"Breathe Deep North Shore was everything its organizers had hoped it would be: a day of meaning and hope where a community came together to help erase the stigma of lung cancer; empower those affected by the disease; and change the course of a disease that takes more lives than the top three cancers combined."
