At the American Lung Association in New York, we are Fighting for Air through research, education and advocacy because we believe that everyone deserves to breathe clean, healthy air. 

We know that our work is making a positive impact on the quality of air we all breathe in New York state and on the health of all New Yorkers, especially those suffering from lung disease.

But there is much, much more that must be done to win the fight against lung disease.

What makes our work especially meaningful is when our friends and supporters share with us how our efforts have inspired them to Fight for Air. 

In this space, we are proud to share with stories about "Your Fight for Air,"  written by friends and supporters of the American Lung Association in New York. 

Our hope is that these stories, along with future stories that we hope to feature here, not only help highlight the importance of our mission and the impact it has on individual lives, but inspire you to join our Fight for Air.
