READY TO GET VIRTUAL
In order to make this year’s event as interactive as possible, we’ve created a LUNG FORCE Walk - Providence Strava Club! Strava is a free application you can download on your smart phone to track your miles in support of the American Lung Association.
Find out more here!
Here, we recommend a number of trails and paths, but you are not limited to these- if you have another favorite go conquer it! Before heading out to a trail or park, please check your local listings to ensure the park is open and safe to use.
From June 1st - June 30th we encourage you to head outdoors to one of the many beautiful trails throughout Providence for your walk. Same mission, just a different place to walk.
Now more than ever the American Lung Association needs your support! The Lung Association just launched the COVID-19 Action Initiative, a comprehensive $25M initiative to end COVID-19 and defend against future respiratory virus pandemics.
This initiative will be used to fund respiratory research, enhance key public health measures through education and advocacy, and establish an advanced network of public and private entities to develop new vaccines, detection tests and treatment therapies, to stop future respiratory virus pandemics.
This is an ambitious undertaking, but with your help we can raise the funds to make this happen!
Please join the virtual community of individuals supporting lung health research through June 1st - June 30th. Be a part of the FORCE to not only help us find a cure for COVID-19 but to also defeat lung cancer and lung disease one step at a time.
