Experience the Biggest Stair Climb in St. Louis

Training, team building and fundraising start today for the biggest stair climb in St. Louis, the Fight For Air Climb at Metropolitan Square. The American Lung Association in Missouri announced that registration is now open for the event, set for Saturday, March 30.

The Fight For Air Climb invites individuals, families, groups of friends, corporate teams and first responders to race up the stairs of the tallest building in St. Louis, Metropolitan Square (40 floors, 856 steps), to raise awareness and money to fight lung disease.

“The fall is the perfect time to start building your team, training and fundraising for the Fight For Air Climb. Stair climbing is a great way to stay active during the chilly St. Louis winters, but also provides a fun activity for families, team building for corporate teams and a fundraising activity for students,” said Brett Schuette, the executive director of the Lung Association. “The Fight For Air Climb brings the community together to fight for something that impacts us all – clean air and healthy lungs.”

In Missouri, more than 800,000 people suffer from lung disease and this year alone, it is estimated that more than 5,700 residents will be diagnosed with lung cancer. The Fight For Air Climb raises awareness for lung disease, raises money for life-saving research, and funds critical local programing like educational programs to help local children better manage their asthma and free programs to help locals quit smoking.

Registration for the 2019 Fight For Air Climb is currently open online or by calling 314-627-1025. Climbers can register for a discounted price of $15 before January 16.
