Blow the Whistle on Lung Disease!

The 2008 Charleston Asthma Walk is Sept. 27 at the Capitol Complex.

The 3-mile walk is meant to raise money and awareness for the American Lung Association. Registration starts at 9 a.m., and the walk starts at 10 a.m. with an awards party to follow.

All money raised goes toward programs, education, research and advocacy. The mission of the American Lung Association is to prevent lung disease and promote lung health.

A kick-off meeting with refreshments is scheduled for Aug. 18 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Charleston Marriott Town Center. We encourage all who are interested to come to the kick-off and learn more about the walk and the American Lung Association. With your help, we can improve life one breath at a time.
