The American Lung Association of Delaware hosted its first Lung Force Walk Nov. 16, for lung health, and to support the new nationwide initiative against lung cancer.
Hundreds of supporters spent the morning collecting stamps on their action passports and preparing for the walk.
The event featured wellness activities, music and an appearance from Miss Delaware Brittany Lewis, and dogs entered a contest for a Cutest Pup Award.
For more information go to www.lungforce.org or call the association’s Lung Helpline at 1-800-LUNG-USA, which connects callers to information, resources and support services.
