VIDEO: ALK POSITIVE: STRONGER TOGETHER
This powerful micro-documentary is a seven minute film, featuring four ALK Positive patients and their families, plus two of the top ALK researchers in the country, Dr. Christine Lovly and Dr. Vincent Lam. The video beautifully intertwines hope, education, and the immediate need for more research. Credit to fellow ALK patient, Karla Castro-Frenzel and the creative minds at TinMen Productions for making this compelling video happen! More Research = More Life.
the Support Group founded by a patient & led by patients
We invite all patients, caregivers, and invested ALK stakeholders to join our support group.
We understand what you are going through, and hope to share what we’ve learned in our journey so far.
Medical Professionals
ALK Positive partners with researchers and others furthering ALK positive treatment, as well as medical professionals in the vital role of first contact for patients.
Our members work in tandem with our medical professionals by fundraising for groundbreaking ALK-positive research projects -some now headed to clinical trials. Members fundraise for their future- more than $1 million in 2019.
Researchers
As a patient-led group, we raise funds & sponsor groundbreaking ALK-positive research projects.
This year, our third year of creating grants, we raised more than $1 million for ALK-specific research. Our partners, LUNGevity and the GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer, help to make these large-scale research projects possible.
Resources for Doctors
If you have ALK-positive patients, please download our new patient brochure.
The brochure is written by ALK patients, for patients. It can help educate on the basics of this cancer, treatments, and where they can receive ongoing support.
