It was a perfect day for a walk around the lake as families, friends, and coworkers joined together to show their support for the American Lung Association.  While some people walked because of their personal fight against lung disease, others walked in honor or in memory of loved ones.

We were inspired by all our teams and their efforts including several teams who claimed a personal victory by completing the three-mile walk in its entirety. Bullseye, the Target mascot, was on hand for team photos and to cheer on our walkers and Ryan from the KS95 Morning Show greeted the walkers at the finish line.

Thank you to all the walkers, volunteers, sponsors and donors who supported our Fight For Air Walk! Without all of you, the event would not have been a success.
