Hustle Chicago stair climb

Climb to the top of Chicago’s skyline at the former Hancock building to raise money for lung disease research, advocacy, and education.

We believe in a future free of lung disease, where everyone breathes easier. Climbers like you share Respiratory Health Association’s vision of healthy lungs and clean air for all – and we are excited to welcome you again in 2022. Money raised from the climb benefits Respiratory Health Association’s work to prevent lung disease and promote clean air. Lung Health Champion registration opens on October 14 and general registration opens on November 1.
