IMPORTANT EVENT UPDATE

Due to the catastrophic impacts of Hurricane Helene on our Gulf Coast community, we have postponed the Gulf Coast Bike Trek to Saturday, November 2. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns at TampaBayevents@lung.org or 813-712-2307.

We encourage residents to be aware of and prepare for potential health risks as floodwaters recede. Mold, germs and dangerous substances that may cause wheezing, coughing and asthma attacks. People can develop new health and breathing problems, so be aware of any new symptoms. If you are worried about your family’s lung health and have questions, call 1-800-LUNGUSA to talk to American Lung Association respiratory therapist or visit Lung.org/flood for more information.

Thank you for supporting the American Lung Association and the more than 2.7 million Floridians living with a chronic lung disease. You are key to our mission. Please be safe.
