CLEVELAND — The American Lung Association is hosting Fight for Air Climb in Cleveland this weekend.
The stair-climbing event is returning to Key Tower on Sunday, March 3. Participants ranging from first-time climbers to competitive climbing teams, to firefighters and first responders in full gear will climb stairs in order to raise money for Ohioans who suffer from chronic lung disease.
The money raised will go toward research, advocacy and programs in Cleveland.
"Key Tower is the perfect setting for a day of fun, challenge and camaraderie," organizers said.
Participants will stair climb 1,200 steps, 52 stories, in honor or memory of a loved one or to challenge themselves.
