As promised, here's a quick recap of the American Lung Association "Fight for Air Climb" in Tampa this weekend. The event sold out - with over 1,000 people making the commitment to run the 42 flights of stairs. I thought I had arrived early, but when I exited the parking garage, I found a carnival-like atmosphere at the base of the building. There were vendors selling their wares and announcements going out over the intercom. It took me a second to recognize the sound - but there was the familiar bang of porta-let doors slamming! This is going to be a good day!
Lisa has written a great blog about the event and several of the people on the team. I suggest you take a look at the following link:

The only thing that I can add to what Lisa has written, is how I continue to be so very impressed with the people that engage in these types of activities. Whether it be a person running up the stairs - one day after knee surgery. Or the person that flew a couple of thousand miles to support a cause. When you consider that the actual run is going to take most people 10 - 15 minutes, it really speaks highly of so many people to make the effort!
Congratulations to all +1,000 people that took their time to support a great cause!
Take care!
