Do Good, Feel Great: Lung Association Invites Boston Residents to Climb Stairs of One Boston Place Skyscraper

Fight For Air Climb raises money to support the American Lung Association in Massachusetts

BOSTON, MA | April 25, 2023

Here in Massachusetts, there are more than 858,000 people living with lung disease, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer and others. To help fund the American Lung Association’s work to end lung disease, today, the American Lung Association in Massachusetts announced that it will host the iconic Fight For Air Climb Boston at One Boston Place on May 6, 2023

Fight For Air Climb Boston participants will climb 789 steps to the top of One Boston Place to raise awareness and over $325,000 to support research, advocacy and education for those with lung diseases and lung cancer. It also invites area firefighters and first responders to participate in the Firefighter Challenge, climbing the steps in full gear to raise critical awareness for occupational exposure and increased risk for lung disease in first responders. 
“Fight For Air Climb events are great for friends, family, companies and first responder teams to climb stairs to support people with lung disease and lung cancer, have fun and get some great exercise. And anyone can climb! This event is designed for every type of climber, from beginners to competitive climbers,” said Ashley Carrier, executive director of the Lung Association in Massachusetts. 

Joining the Fight For Air Climb supports the work of the Lung Association to defeat lung cancer, improve the air we breathe, reduce the burden of lung disease on individuals and their families, and eliminate tobacco use and tobacco-related diseases.

“In addition to supporting a crucial cause, stair climbing has significant health benefits like improving balance and coordination and strengthening major muscles,” Carrier added.
