This past Saturday, we brought our inaugural Climb Camp Boston to life on the steps of Harvard Stadium. 🏟️💙

Between the costumes, the team spirit, and the grit on every step, it was a morning full of community, energy and purpose. And every step was taken for someone who fights for their next breath.

Thank you to our climbers, volunteers, and partners, to Kymera Therapeutics for bringing out such an incredible group, and to Harvard University and Harvard Athletics for welcoming us onto those iconic steps. A special shout-out to Charlie () for generously capturing the day. 📸

This is only the beginning. We will see you on the steps for the 2027 Fight for Air Climb Boston, as we keep climbing toward a world free of lung disease.

If you've been there, you’re not alone. A lot of people are figuring this out and choosing to quit.
