Stair Climbs are unique fundraising events for the American Lung Association. They usually happen in prominent skyscrapers and involve climbing the stairs to the top floor. Sometimes called a "vertical road race", participants can use the event as a fitness target, as a race, with you challenging yourself or you racing against other people, or as a great way to be active and meet new friends. American Lung Association Stair Climbs are also a wonderful way to support someone who has lung disease or as a memorial to someone who has passed away.

There are usually a limited number of spots available in each Stair Climb, so be sure to sign up early. If you can't make this weekend's climb, please click on the map to find a destination you want to visit.

"Here is the situation," she said. "a man is standing up in a boat in the middle of a river,fishing. He loses his balance, falls in, and begins splashing and yelling for help. His wife hears the commotion, knows that he can'tm, and runs down to the bank. Why do you think she ran to the bank?"A girl raised her hand and asked, "to draw out all of his savings?"
