Each year the American Lung Association hosts an annual Asthma Walk. People all across the country participate in the walk to raise awareness and money for asthma research and education. This year’s walk will begin at 10:00am at the Civic Auditorium in Omaha on Saturday, April 25th. The walk will be in conjunction with the Omaha Health, Wellness & Fitness Expo so feel free to wander through the exhibits after the walk.
As a Respiratory therapist that is the wife and mother of asthmatics this issue is very important to me personally as well as professionally. My husband, Jamie is a life-long asthma sufferer and both of my sons, Guy and Kael, have unfortunately followed in Daddy’s footsteps.
This is my 4th year as Captain of Ambassadors for Asthma Awareness. With help from family, friends and co-workers like you, we have raised over $1000 each of the last couple of years. Each year we grow not only in financial support but also in team members. I am hoping that you will support us by joining the team, signing up to walk or simply making a tax-deductible donation.
Donations and checks should be made to the American Lung Association and can be sent to me or directly to ALA at 8990 W. Dodge Rd. Ste. 226, Omaha, NE 68114. Please, make a note that you are supporting Ambassadors for Asthma Awareness. For additional information on the walk or to make a donation online, you can visit their website.
Savings Sidekick coupon books can be purchased for $20. Half the cost goes to ALA. For more info on these, check out their site.
Raffle tickets are available again this year and are $5.00 each or 3 for $10.00. The prize is two Midwest Airlines tickets! The drawing will be held on April 27th and winners will be contacted by ALA.
Thank you for all of your help and support. I look forward to hearing from everyone soon.
