The American Lung Association's Annual Asthma Walk is coming up quickly. It is a great way to reach out to your community and raises funds that go to further research to fight lung disease, teach children how to properly use their inhalers, and educate the public about the varied aspects of lung disease.
If you want to lend a hand, join a team, or lead your own head over to the Asthma Walk website at www.asthmawalk.org.
Every little bit helps to win the fight against lung disease. Thank you for your help!
