This is my third year joining the American Lung Association's Climb for Clean Air. I’m climbing to support those not only with lung disease, but all various types of cancers. I'm climbing because I love the mountains. I’m climbing to challenge myself. I'm climbing for lung disease because it’s affecting my family and those I love. I'm climbing for those I've never met. I'm climbing because lung disease, no matter what stage of life you are in, isn't fair. I'm climbing because those with lung disease, need help to breathe. I'm climbing because we've created one bada** team, full of amazing CFCA Alumni's called Chivos Exalumnos.

Through groundbreaking research, advocacy and critical education, the money we raise will provide lifesaving treatments and dramatically improve the quality of life for more than 36 million Americans diagnosed with lung disease.

Please join me, team Chivos Exalumnos, my family, my friends, the American Lung Association's Climb for Clean Air and be part of making a difference in the lives of lung disease patients and their families, friends and caregivers. The need is urgent, so please join me today to help fight lung disease.

Every day, every minute and every second counts – donate today.
