Fight for Air Walk- American Lung Association May 30, 2009

The Walk for Healthy Lungs & Clean Air is the next generation of walking for a cause. We will breathe easier when the air over every American city is clean and pure. We will breathe easier when the air in our public spaces, workplaces, and children's homes is free of secondhand smoke. We will breathe easier when Americans are free from the addictive grip of cigarettes and the debilitating effects of lung disease. We will breathe easier when our nation's children no longer battle airborne poisons or the fear of an asthma attack. Until then, we are fighting for air.
The Walk is noncompetitive-anyone can participate. The Walks ranges from 1.5 to 3.5 miles and men, women and children of all ages are encouraged to participate. Events are held rain or shine, and every walker makes a difference.

The Fight For Air Walk is taking place at Riverside Park, Hartford, CT on Saturday May 30, 2009. Registration starts at 8:30am, Walk kicks-off at 10 am.
