In Loving Memory of Truman Liang
On March 5, 2017, Truman passed away at the age of 27 after a determined and courageous battle with small cell lung cancer. This type of lung cancer is particularly aggressive, accounting for about 13 percent of all lung cancer cases per year. It is extremely rare for someone so young and healthy to develop this cancer. Even with the odds stacked against him, Truman fought like hell and remained steadfast in his belief of beating this disease. Truman said, "Life is too beautiful."
There is the misconception that only smokers get lung cancer. However, the reality is the majority of people who get lung cancer today have either stopped smoking years earlier or never smoked at all. Truman never touched a cigarette in his life and treated his body like a temple. Currently, there is no cure for small cell lung cancer, and often times has spread by the time of diagnosis.
In an effort to find both a cure and early detection methods for small cell lung cancer, we ask you contribute in memory of Truman to this important cause by clicking the "Donate Now" button above. If you prefer to send a check, donations may be made out to "Memorial Sloan Kettering" and indicate Truman's name in the memo line. Please send to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, ATTN: Stephanie Sepe, 885 2nd Avenue 7th Floor, New York, NY 10017.
Let us honor his bravery and celebrate his life by giving the next "rare" case a better chance of remission.
Thank you!
