Grammy Award-winning singer Patti LaBelle has teamed up with the American Lung Association for its LUNG FORCE initiative, starring in a new video to raise awareness of lung cancer in women.

LaBelle commented 'I feel blessed to share my voice in the fight against lung cancer for those who are no longer with us. Two of my sisters, Vivian and Jackie, lost their lives to the disease in their early 40s as did my first choir instructor, who helped shape who I am as a performer. It's all about hope and progress, but awareness and education are still critical'.
