What is Hike for Lung Health? The 3rd Annual Hike for Lung Health and Family Fun Fest is a multi-charity walk designed to bring attention to lung disease. Nearly a thousand people will be joining together to walk as teams or individuals to raise money to help the 1 million Chicago and surrounding suburban residents affected by lung disease.
