agreed on their mission -- to dedicate
their efforts solely to funding iung can-
cer research — and Zagon drafted the
articles of incorporation and by-laws
with pro-bono help from attorneys with
whom she used to work. On March 13,
they filed for incorporation in Illinois,
and on Aug. 27, LUNGevity was grant-
ed tax-exempt status.
LUNGevity's funds will be disbursed
through the American College of Chest
Physicians, which will review proposals
and announce an award at its annual
meeting in November 2002.
`We're not ready to make funding
decisions on our own yet," said Zagon.
"Eventually, we want to have a medical
advisory board and accept research pro-
posals."
She also hopes the organization will
expand beyond the Chicago area to
become as well known, and have as big
an impact, as Y-ME, the group coordi-
nating the fight against breast cancer.
Eddie Lumberg says he's nor surprised
by his daughter's efforts, since she's
always been interested in helping others.
It's something she grew up with. Her
parents have long been active in the
Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit. Lumberg is a past president of
Junior Division (now Young Adult
Division) and the Fresh Air Society, and
Sherri Lumberg is a former Women's
Division vice president.
As a teenager, Zagon was active in the
youth group at Temple Israel and
worked as a counselor at Tamarack
Camps. The 1985 Southfield-Lathrup
High School graduate earned a degree in
economics at the University of Michigan
and a law degree at Harvard before mov-
ing to Chicago. During her college
years, she worked as an intern with the
Jewish Federation's Project JOIN.

In its first few months, LUNGevity has
raised more than $60,000, including
S30,000 in corporate sponsorships for
the Oct. 28 dinner. Thirty volunteers are
working on the event, said Zagon,
including the mother of Gayle Levy,
who died in August at age 41. Two other
LUNGevity founders have also died.
Zagon says the dinner crowd, which
she hopes will be at least 300-strong, will
include at least a dozen Detroiters. Her
parents will be there, as will her brother,
Dr. Michael Lumberg of West
Bloomfield, two of Zagon's college
roommates, and other friends and rela-
tives. Many of those who can't attend
have sent contributions.
"We're very proud of Missy and hope
she can continue fighting her battles for
years and years to come," said Eddie

Lumberg.

FACTS

About Lung Cancer

• Lung cancer is the leading
cause of cancer death in the
United States.

• Lung -cancer kills more
Americans each year than
breast, prostate and colorectal
cancer combined. Lung can-
cer kills more women than
breast cancer, and more men
than prostate cancer.

• Nearly 14 percent of those
newly diagnosed with lung
cancer have never smoked.

• In 2001, an estimated
170,000 people will be newly
diagnosed with lung cancer
ancr an estimated 157,000 will
die of the disease: 90,000 men
and 67,000 women.

• Only 14 percent of those
newly diagnosed with lung
cancer will live for five years.
The five-year survival rate
could reach 80 percent in
cases detected when the can-
cer is localized in the lung,
but only 15 percent of lung
cancers are detected before
they have spread.

• In 2000, the National
Cancer Institute spent
approximately $950 on
research per lung cancer
death, compared to $34,000
per AIDS death, $8,860 per
breast cancer death, $3,667
per prostate cancer death, and
$3,192 per colorectal cancer
death.
