Hello to greater RiverBender Community:

This is a direct Shout Out - to children, parents, care-givers, teachers & area residents!

LungSmarter Foundation, newly created local Non-Profit, is promoting continuous asthma education & LungSmarter Health-Tips, with an event May 5, Glazebrook Park, Concession Stand, prompt start at 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

LungSmarter Foundation is not going to sit on the side lines, this year, just hoping for progress!

LungSmarter is going to fight back for our kids & continue to fund-raise to benefit those in need, to save lives & help kids to breathe easier!

We’re not going to stand-down– why thousands of our children continue to struggle to catch their breath, while parents struggle with medical bills, healthcare expenses & juggle to pay for multiple RX, such as daily pills, inhalers, nebulizers, ect.

Plus, how about those hospitalizations! Those expensive mad dashes to the closest ER for an emergency breathing treatment…

All the while, children continue to miss school days & suffer with breathing difficulties, officially diagnosed asthmatic or not, huge numbers of our kids deal with breathing difficulties, allergic reactions to dust, specific foods, smoke, air pollution, animals, products or suddenly find out that exercising or laughing can cause shortness of breath, mild or severe breathing difficulties… Sometimes – life threatening situations, these numbers of kids involved are increasing, seemingly, every few years, thousands impacted!

The situation is becoming almost routine, forcing a quick grab for an inhaler, for breathing relief!

Or, forcing an emergency call to 911 – because coughing, gagging, can’t breathe, when minutes count – call 911 – please know the address, in the event of requiring to dispatch an emergency vehicle or local fire truck to rush emergency medical assistance for safety, to save a life!

Many of you know, well, this frightening predicament for your child, your grand child or for yourself….

If you have been nodding your head, understanding these frightening moments, join our team LungSmarter Foundation, get involved in a learning experience, for children of all ages!

Our local team is honoring an Annual Spring multi-year event since 2000, then, with a team named “A” is for Asthma!!

It’s been a commitment & tradition, for the Annual Alphabet Walkers!

These folks know the potential dangers of an asthma related crisis or food allergy attacks, having a family member or a friend living with breathing difficulties, respiratory conditions…

After all, if your child can’t breathe, what else matters?
