American Lung Association: Fight for Air Climb

Sunday, March 1, I participated in the American Lung Association Fight for Air Climb.  This is a fundraising event for the American Lung Association.  I participated in honor of close family members, friends, and students affected by asthma, cystic fibrosis, and any lung diseases or issues.  Preparing for the event included fundraising (THANK YOU to those who donated!!!), and some training on stairs (actually the step mill machine at my gym).  The actual event is climbing the Detroit Renaissance Center's 70 flights of stairs!!  It was quite an experience, and was more difficult than I thought.  I was shocked to learn that the fastest finishers did the entire 70 flights in around 7 minutes!!  Wow!!
