THANK YOU for being a part of the 2021 Fight For Air Climb – Milwaukee, presented by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield!

Together, we raised $415,000+ and climbed more than 1.3 million stairs – thank you!

Your support makes our work possible for the 830,000+ Wisconsinites living with lung disease. Every dollar raised supports the Lung Association’s research, educational programs and advocacy efforts.

Did you self-time your climb? Report your results in our Timing & Activity Tracker.

It’s not too late to earn an additional fundraising incentive! You have until June 21 to qualify for our incentive program. View our Incentive Flier to check what you could earn!

Event photos will be posted to our SmugMug account by the end of the week.

On behalf of our Climb Committee, Wisconsin Leadership Board Members and the Lung Association Staff- thank you from the bottom of our LUNGS!

Our Climb Safe Commitment

Our Climb Safe Commitment includes spatial distancing, health screenings, sanitation protocols, and face masks.

The American Lung Association is committed to the health and safety of our participants and volunteers. We will continue to closely monitor public health conditions and CDC guidelines as we plan for the 2021 event.

Why We Climb

  • We embrace a challenge that makes us better
  • Because healthy lungs need clean air to breathe
  • Every step gets us closer to a world without lung disease
 

Benefits of Climbing

  • Improves balance and coordination
  • Strengthens more major muscle groups compared to walking, running or jogging on a flat surface
  • Consistent stair-climbing as a daily activity helps lower mortality risk

  • A sense of accomplishment for supporting people who are fighting for every breath

      Why We Need You in the Fight

      In March, the American Lung Association launched a $25 million initiative to end COVID-19 and defend against future respiratory virus pandemics. At the same time, we're continuing our advocacy work to support clean air and redoubling our long-term commitments to lifesaving research.

      Over the last 11 years, the Climbers have raised more than $60 million to support the mission of the American Lung Association. Last year, more than 26,000 participants from 43 Climb events across the country came together last year to raise more than $7 million.

      Join us. Because Every Step Counts and every step makes a difference.
