Skip to main contentAAFA, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1953, is the leading patient organization for people with asthma and allergies and the oldest asthma and allergy patient group in the world. The Allies Fun Run & Walk is a national series of community events that raise awareness and connect families to resources and support for managing asthma and allergies, including food allergies. This September, the event comes to North Carolina.
The timing of the event is especially meaningful. September marks the start of asthma peak season, when a surge of seasonal triggers can lead to more asthma attacks, emergency room visits and hospital stays, especially among young children. It is a powerful reminder of why community support matters and why the event is being held when it matters most.
More than 106 million people in the U.S. live with asthma and/or allergies. For many, a walk outside, a day at school or a good night’s sleep isn’t something they can take for granted. How well someone manages these conditions depends on more than medication. It depends on the air they breathe, the places they spend time and the people around them.
Everyone is welcome at this family-friendly community event. Support the AAFA Allies Fun Run & Walk and make a difference.
