Some Petersen Medical Employees Volunteer to Take A Big Climb for the American Lung Association

Twenty Three Stories, Five Hundred Ninety Eight Steps–On February 26th, 2011, more than 500 climbers, including a team from Petersen Medical, braved the snow to tackle the twenty three stories, five hundred ninety eight steps of the Wells Fargo Center Tower in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah for the 6th annual Fight for Air Climb hosted by the American Lung Association of Utah.

Petersen Medical's Stair Steppers

Petersen Medical's mission is to help others breathe easier.  That is why the company chose to be a corporate  sponsor of the American Lung Association's Fight for Air Climb.  The American Lung Association is committed to preventing lung disease and promoting lung health through education, research, and advocacy.

Along with the Petersen Medical team, firefighters, runners and members of the community huffed and puffed their way up the Salt Lake City skyscraper and helped raise more than $60,000 for the American Lung Association.

"It works your lungs -- the whole body," said one of the volunteers. "You're beat by the time you get up."
