Scranton, Lackawanna County- Walkers and runners took part in a charity walk with mission to help people who struggle to breathe. 

The American Lung Association's "Air Walk" was held Saturday morning at Nay Aug Park in Scranton.  Proceeds from the walk will fund lung cancer research and help children suffering from Asthma. Walk organizers hope the walk is a way to see the positive in any situation.    

 

American Lung Association Program Specialist, Tony Delonti, says "we can prevent people from getting these diseases, but if they do have them we are able to provide them with the education they need to properly manage them."  Eyewitness News reporter Andy Mehalshick was the host of the event.
