ROYAL OAK, Michigan (FOX 2) – The American Lung Association held a fundraiser on October 3 to help end lung disease and COVID-19.
Detroit’s LUNG FORCE Walk at the Detroit Zoo was a 1.5 mile walk between individuals, families, groups of friends, and corporate teams. The hundreds of participants kept a distance of two meters from one another.
The annual fundraising goal of $ 65,000 was exceeded as participants raised $ 76,000 for life-saving research at the American Lung Association.
“Thanks to our wonderful supporters, we can continue our life-saving research, advocacy and education and provide vital resources for Michigan lung health,” said Maureen Rovas, executive director of the Lung Association in Michigan.
The Lung Association said the funds raised at the event will support efforts to end lung cancer and lung diseases as well as their COVID-19 action initiative.
The COVID-19 Action Initiative is a $ 25 million investment to fight COVID-19 and protect against future respiratory virus pandemics. The initiative works with public and private institutions to increase research collaboration and develop new vaccines, detection tests and treatment therapies.
