DESCRIPTION:It's Breathe California's biggest annual fundraiser of the year!\n\n\nThe 
 Breath of Life Walk (BOLW) raises funds vital for Breathe California's 
 programs and initiatives dedicated to improving lung health. These funds 
 support research, advocacy, education, and direct assistance for those 
 affected by lung diseases.\n\nSecondly, the Breath of Life Walk fosters a 
 sense of community among participants. It brings together individuals 
 impacted by lung diseases, their families, healthcare professionals, and 
 supporters passionate about respiratory health. Last year, the Kaiser 
 Permanente Santa Clara Wheezeless Walkers Team had a great time at the 
 event with their medical provider Dr. Dailey! One of the walkers on this 
 team walked in memory of his parents and kept saying that he wishes they 
 could’ve seen and experienced the walk the way he did in 2023.\n\nThrough 
 this event, participants share their stories, offer support, and find 
 solidarity with others facing similar challenges.\n\nImportantly, the 
 Breath of Life Walk amplifies the message of Breathe California's mission: 
 advocating for policies and practices that promote clean air, smoking 
 cessation, and lung disease prevention. By participating, individuals not 
 only contribute financially but also show their commitment to creating a 
 healthier environment for all.\n\nThe Breath of Life Walk at Hellyer County 
 Park is Breathe California's biggest annual fundraising event. It's a 
 gathering where people come together to support those affected by lung 
 diseases, raise awareness about the importance of respiratory health, and 
 take action towards a cleaner, healthier future.\n\n100% of the proceeds 
 from the Breath of Life Walk will remain in the Bay Area to help fund 
 Breathe California’s wide array of local programs and services. 
 Fundraising will allow us to:\n\n-Teach kids with asthma how to manage 
 their condition, train their care givers, and promote asthma-friendly 
 environments.\n\n-Offer education and support to local residents who are 
 suffering from emphysema, COPD, lung cancer, and sleep apnea.\n\n-Keep 
 youth from getting addicted to vaping/tobacco, and offer assistance to 
 smokers trying to quit.\n\n-Improve local air quality to ensure that all 
 Bay Area residents can breathe easier.\n\nEvent website:
