On Saturday I got to be a part of the very first Lung Love Run at the Philadelphia Zoo. This run was put together by the Lung Cancer Alliance which helps support victims and there families.
Did you know, Lung Cancer is now the top most deadliest cancer! I was honored to witness people who have a story linked to lung cancer,
join together and support such a good cause!
Friends, family and loved ones participated in a 5k run or 1 mile walk to remember those who are affected and raised money to support others.
The Love Lung Run was arranged to educate and raise awareness for Lung Cancer and celebrate those who overcame. 1 survivor and her family were present. She spoke about how she was given a 14% chance of survival! She talked on how the Lung Alliance, along with her Doctors and Family, never gave up and that was the reason she was standing in front of us all!
It was cool to be in the Zoo before anyone else. Running past the Cheetahs lounging in the early sun, listening to the Monkeys and Birds say "Good Morning." After the race you got full access to the Zoo for the rest of the day to enjoy with your family!
The event was welcoming and had a lot to offer for families. Kids playing with toys, coloring activities and bubbles! Snacks were available to munch on while you socialized and listened to music!
Next year I hope you will join me and my family to support such a great cause! Thank you Lung Cancer Alliance for allowing me to capture a great day filled with LOVE!
