Asthma Awareness Month 5K Run/10K Walk

Description:

Asthma is a chronic lung disease affecting people of all ages. It is caused by inflammation and muscle tightening around the airways, which makes it harder to breathe. Asthma cannot be cured but there are several treatments available including bronchodilators and steroids. Asthma affects the quality of life of over 24 million Americans and their families and is the most common frequent chronic condition among adults and children worldwide.
