iClick sponsors climber, Brett Martin, in the Climb for Clean Air®

2010 commemorates the 23rd anniversary of the Climb for Clean Air® - a fundraising climb of Mount Rainier. In July, roughly 50 climbers will set out to make a summit attempt on Mount Rainier. The climb will take 2 days and cover 14,410ft.

Message from Brett:

I recently signed up to participate in the Climb for Clean Air. Why, you may ask, would anyone want to do such a thing? Well, in this case I have numerous reasons: the most important of which is to raise funds to help the American Lung Association fight lung disease. Millions of people in America suffer from lung diseases such as asthma, lung cancer, COPD and Pulmonary Fibrosis. Lung cancer kills more people than breast, colon and prostate cancers combined. Asthma causes more lost school days than any other chronic disease. Tuberculosis, once thought to have been defeated is on the rise again.

I'd like to do something about all of that. My goal is to raise over $3,500 to fund research, education and advocacy programs that fight lung disease. To do that, I need your help in the form of a donation to the American Lung Association in Washington. The easiest way to help is go to my personal web page (click here) and make a donation. Please be generous. My legs and lungs will work hard this summer, but if we can make it easier for someone to breathe, it will be well worth the effort.

Thank you for considering a donation to this worthy cause and for supporting my summit attempt on Mount Rainier in July 2010! I thank you, the Lung Association thanks you, but more important, everyone who breathes thanks you!
