Take the First Steps Towards Healthier Habits in 2023 with National Take the Stairs Day on January 11

American Lung Association encourages Buffalo residents to take the stairs and then support lung health by signing up for the Fight For Air Climb

BUFFALO, NY | January 11, 2023

Today, Wednesday, January 11 is National Take the Stairs Day, and the American Lung Association in Western New York is challenging people in Buffalo to take the first steps towards healthier habits in 2023 by taking the stairs, and then support lung health by registering for the Fight For Air Climb at Highmark Stadium.

The American Lung Association is celebrating National Take the Stairs Day by offering FREE registration for the Fight For Air Climb Buffalo for TODAY ONLY with online discount code “NTTSD23” (case sensitive).  Register at FightForAirClimb.org/Buffalo.

National Take the Stairs Day is an annual observance on the second Wednesday of January that gives Americans an opportunity to adopt healthy routines like taking the stairs. Stair climbing is a great way to burn calories but is also a simple way to improve your overall health. 

“Many people make resolutions to adopt healthier habits in the New Year, so National Take the Stairs Day is a fantastic way to kick off those goals as well as exercise your lungs! We would also like to invite Western New York residents to take it a step further and join us for our Fight For air Climb at Highmark Stadium on May 13,” said Kaelyn Gates, Senior Director of Development for the Lung Association.

Participants of the Fight For Air Climb will climb up to 1,800 steps at Highmark Stadium on May 13th, alongside firefighters, first responders and families and individuals with lung disease. Joining the Fight For Air Climb supports the work of the Lung Association to defeat lung cancer, champion clean air for all, improve the quality of life for those living with lung disease and their families, and create a tobacco-free future.
