 CLIMB Events1
Stairclimbs are a great way to challenge yourself—whether your goal is just to reach the top or to be the first to cross the finish line—you will walk away with a new found respect for your lungs! 

 Why Should You Climb?1
Your support helps the American Lung Association in the Fight for Air. With lung disease on the rise, we are fighting for research that will find a cure for tomorrow. We are fighting for those who can’t quit smoking and those who shouldn’t start. We are fighting for lungs that burn from exercise rather than from ozone. We are fighting for asthma education to stop children from dying from asthma attacks. We are fighting for laws that improve air quality both inside and out.

And we won’t breathe easy until we win the fight.

 How You Can Climb to End Lung Disease1
Step 1. Register online by clicking on the appropriate link to the right.
Step 2. Set a fundraising goal (we suggest $200). Ask friends, family and co-workers to support your fundraising efforts with a donation.
Step 3. Aim high and earn a great prize. All participants who meet their $100 fundraising minimum or more will receive an official climb T-shirt. The more you raise, the better the prize you can earn. 

Online registration is fast and easy and allows you to get started raising money right away. If you have additional questions contact your local ALA office at 248-784-2018.
