What a great organization! The local office of the ALA is filled with fantastic and positive people. Janelle and Amy are rock stars with fund raising and education on their cause, lung health. The ALA has local events which include the traditional 5k, but also the more unique Fight For Air Climb (where climbers compete against each other, law enforcement, firefighters, and usually a professional stair climber to get to the top of a 25 story building the fastest all while fund raising to support the cause) and the Lip Sync for Lungs event (basically a lip sync concert but elevated by fantastic performances from local community members with some having choreographed dances and others multiple song and costume changes). Additionally the organization has other small events peppered in between to learn or connect with others dealing with lung health issues. Lung health effects us all and I encourage you to reach out to this group to help us fight against big tobacco, lung cancer, and other lung disease. read more
