The purpose of One Positive ALKie Fund is to increase awareness, educate and raise money for research provided through ALK Positive,Inc.

ALK Positive lung cancer is a type of cancer with no known causes and no know cure.

It occurs in about 100,000  people worldwide every year. 

ALK Positive lung cancer occurs in approximately 5% of all lung cancer patients.  However, it occurs in approximately 30% of lung cancer patients diagnosed under age 40!!  About half of ALK-positive lung cancer patients are diagnosed before the age of 50 (compared to about age 70 for lung cancer overall), with many in their 30’s and 40’s, but some even in their teens and twenties.

Discovered in 2007, “ALK-positive cancer” refers to the rearrangement of the EML4 gene and the ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) gene in your DNA, resulting in a fusion oncogene EML4-ALK. An oncogene is a gene that is a mutated and may cause cancer cells. If you have cancer with an “ALK rearrangement”, part of your ALK gene is mutated, resulting in uncontrolled cell replication- cancer.
