Inclusion is not a recommendation or a finding that this group is right for your situation. GO2 for Lung Cancer (legally GO2 Foundation for Lung Cancer) is a national lung cancer advocacy nonprofit founded by patients and survivors. It serves anyone affected by lung cancer, and it also works on screening and early detection. ## What they offer - A free HelpLine for one-on-one support, from screening questions to finding resources. - LungMATCH, a free treatment and trial navigation program. Navigators help you understand biomarker results, treatment options and clinical trials you might qualify for. GO2 reports that in 2022, 40% of people who contacted LungMATCH about trials went on to join one. - Phone Buddy, which pairs you with a trained volunteer who has been through something similar. - Gathering HOPE, a casual virtual social, plus Mind Over Matter, a free five-week virtual program for managing emotions. - A network of lung cancer-specific support groups. - Lung Cancer Living Room, a monthly livestream with experts and patients. - Free educational materials you can download or have mailed to you. ## How to join and what it costs There's no membership. Call or email the HelpLine, or sign up for a program on the website. As of October 2026 GO2 describes the HelpLine, LungMATCH and its educational materials as free. ## How it fits with other groups here GO2 co-hosts Gathering HOPE with [Young Lung Cancer Initiative](/companies/young-lung-cancer-initiative/). [LUNGevity](/companies/lungevity/) offers similar national support. For biomarker-specific community, see [ALK Positive](/companies/alk-positive/), [EGFR Resisters](/companies/egfr-resisters/) and [The ROS1ders](/companies/the-ros1ders/). My [clinical trials](/resources/clinical-trials/) and [find support](/resources/find-support/) guides cover more. ## Questions I would ask - Can LungMATCH review my biomarker report and suggest trials to ask my oncologist about? - Is there a Phone Buddy with my diagnosis? - Is there a support group near me, or a virtual one? - What should I bring to my next appointment? ## Contacts - Website: [go2.org](https://go2.org/) - HelpLine: 1-800-298-2436 (Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET) - HelpLine email: support@go2.org - LungMATCH: [go2.org/lung-cancer-support/resources/lung-match](https://go2.org/lung-cancer-support/resources/lung-match) - General business: 650-598-2857, info@go2.org ## Limits and context Program details are reported by the group unless noted, as of October 2026.
