From the Organizer
Join the Respiratory Therapy Club at Marywood University for our Walk/Run for your Lungs 5k as we run to raise awareness about the vital role respiratory therapists play in helping people breathe easier and to promote the importance of lung health. Every step brings us closer to a healthier, and more informed community.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the American Lung Association, while the remaining funds will benefit the Respiratory Therapy Club and will help us continue educating our community, promoting respiratory care, and supporting the next generation of respiratory care professionals.
