Background
In lieu of flowers, the family has chosen two organizations that reflect the chapters of Morris’s life and the causes that meant the most to him. LUNGevity.org represents the fight he faced with courage and clarity these past months. Morris believed deeply in the power of research, advocacy, and early detection, and supporting this organization is a way to help others who will walk the same difficult path. TraverseTrails.org honors the place where Morris found peace, strength, and joy in his final years. The trails of Traverse City became his sanctuary—places where he biked, reflected, laughed, and embraced the beauty of the life he loved so fiercely. Together, these organizations carry forward both his battle and his bliss: his determination in the face of cancer, and his reverence for the natural world that grounded him.

About LUNGevity Foundation
We are dedicated to funding scientific research because the link between research spending and improved survival is clear. Our strategic investment in both early detection and therapeutics will help people live better with lung cancer and dramatically improve on the current 19% five-year survival rate.LUNGevity initiatives position us as thought leaders in the lung cancer advocacy community, providing programs and driving change for those with lung cancer today and in the future. While we fund primary research, we also conduct patient-focused research to better understand their unmet needs and convene multi-stakeholder meetings to streamline the research process and accelerate progress to patients.
LUNGevity seeks to empower patients to be active decision makers in their treatment process through our extensive educational resources, online peer-to-peer support, and in-person survivorship programs.
