It's your legs vs. the stairs, so breathe in, step up and get ready to experience the climb of your life!
WHY SHOULD YOU CLIMB? Your support helps the American Lung Association in New Mexico 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 can win the fight. Each step taken brings the American Lung Association in New Mexico one step and one breath closer to achieving our mission "to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease."
Whether it's asthma, COPD, air quality or any other lung health related issue, the American Lung Association in New Mexico is available to provide life-saving information, educational programs and fund research.
