Although rain was pouring, we all had a lot of fun participating in the Lung Force Walk! We were greeted by a giant inflatable sign that said ‘Lung Force’ and plenty of bagels!! We set up all the different tents and layed out various items at each tent. As we waited for people to arrive, we danced in the rain and took lots of commemorative photos together. Working at the merchandise tent was a great experience. I got the opportunity to listen to stories of those who have gone through or have experienced family struggling through a lung disease or lung cancer, how they overcame it and support and donations to the cause. We saw many people who raised hundreds of dollars for something they care about. Their stories really touched me, knowing how much they sacrificed, the hardships they endured, and the strength they gained as a result. This event was truly worth being drenched, as it moved my heart and I really felt connected to the people and hardships they all went through. -Fenny Chen, Secretary
