2009 Breath of Life Walk
Breath of Life Walk a Great Success
Thank you to this year’s walkers, boot campers, volunteers and sponsors
for making this is the best Breath of Life Walk ever!
|
The 7th annual Breath of Life Walk and the 1st annual Breath of Life Boot Camp was a great success. The 467 walkers who attended the walk raised $35,000 to support the important work Breathe California does locally. Grand Marshall CBS5’s Joe Vazquez fired up the enthusiastic crowd for the 3.1 mile walk, which included a large contingent of spirited high school students. Lincoln High School took home the $1000 first prize for most walkers, having 81 walkers attend this years’ event.
Congratulations to Kathleen Robinos, the highest fundraiser and winner of the JetBlue tickets!

- Offer education and support to local residents who suffer from COPD
- Eliminate asthma-related deaths and raise awareness about this serious health condition
- Keep youth from getting addicted to tobacco and offer assistance to smokers trying to quit
- Improve local air quality to ensure that all Bay Area residents can breathe easier
