Run the Rocks 2024

Char's Climbers

Let's make sure everyone can benefit from healthy lungs.

You can sign up and participate, or donate by clicking on the link.

I created this team in 2015 to honor my mom who passed away from a very rare lung disease. You can support me in my efforts just by donating. Your generosity would mean a lot to me.

More about my mom: My wonderful mother, Charlene Schmitt, was diagnosed with a rare form of Interstitial Pneumonitis in February 2015. After a very courageous 7 month fight, she passed away on 9/21/2015. She was just 56 years old. She never smoked, and so her extremely peculiar illness is the reason I participate in Run the Rocks! Your participation on our team Char’s Climbers would be greatly appreciated! You can also support me in my efforts just by donating. To help support my efforts, and to change lives, please click on the Donate button (or, better yet...register to run/walk with me)!

Lung disease is on the rise and your donation would help fund research and provide education and advocacy efforts. One breath at a time, you can help me Run the Rocks for a better tomorrow. Together we can fight lung disease successfully!


We Run the Rocks to represent all those who suffer from lung disease, especially those who are close to our hearts. You can support us in our efforts just by donating. Your generosity would mean a lot to us and all those who benefit from the work of the American Lung Association.
