Important Equipment: YOUR LUNGS

Breathing is such an automatic part of our bodily function that we rarely pay attention to it at all. If we are fortunate enough to squeeze a workout in during our crazy day, maybe we notice our breathing then. Imagine your struggle to breathe during a particularly difficult workout. Now imagine what your life would be like if it were that difficult to breath all the time, regardless of what you were doing.

On February 6, I will donate my lungs and tackle 82 flights of stairs to raise money for the American Lung Association. The Fight for Air Climb: Race Up Boston Place will raise funds for research, education and advocacy and help bring hope to the 35 million Americans who are living with lung disease.

Please join me in my efforts to make a difference by sponsoring my team. The following link will bring you to my personal fundraising page. http://www.mrsnv.com/evt/e01/part.jsp?rid=1078110&id=2826&acct=9000517195

If you want to experience the fight first hand, you can also join the team and climb with us. Go to http://www.mrsnv.com/evt/home.jsp?id=2826 and join the group “Melissa Made Us Do It”.

Thank you in advance for your help. Wish us luck….
