Saturday, May 5
Glazebrook Park Concession Stand
1401 Stamper Lane
Godfrey, Ill.
The event, sponsored by the American Lung Association in the past, is now being organized by the new non-profit LungSmarter Foundation of Godfrey.
President and founder of LungSmarter Foundation, Jaris Waide, has set a multi-year goal of raising $50,000 for local asthma awareness and symptom prevention education.
This will be her team’s 18th year participating in what she has dubbed the “Alphabet Walk.” Starting with “A is for Asthma” in 2000.
The letter and theme for 2018 is “R” - “Revitalize, with proper hydration, eating good nutrition, along with doing regular fitness - right for you!”
