Thank you for your interest in supporting the World Lung Foundation at the NYC Half Marathon this August 16, 2009.

World Lung Foundation was established in response to the global epidemic of lung disease which kills 10 million people every year. This year, our team will raise funds to support treatment of asthma, which afflicts nearly 300 million people around the world and causes more than 200,000 deaths each year.  Although people of all ages in all countries suffer from asthma, the burden it creates for both patients and healthcare systems is highest in low and middle-income countries. 

For the 2009 NYC Half Marathon, all proceeds will go towards boosting treatment and care for asthma patients in these countries.

You may email or fax in our run registration form.
