Walk To Breathe – Alberta man will walk from Lethbridge to Edmonton to raise $50,000.00
Article submitted by Chris Sadleir on behalf of The Lung Association, Alberta and NWT
July 7, Edmonton’s Chris Sadleir will take the first step in a 500-kilometre, 50-thousand dollar journey, a walk from Lethbridge to Edmonton in support of people living with lung disease in Alberta and the Northwest Territories. Last year, Sadleir’s inaugural walk took him from Calgary to Edmonton, and raised over 33-thousand dollars. At the time, it was meant to be a once-in-a-lifetime effort, one that turned out to raise even more awareness and engagement than Sadleir had dared to hope for, and ultimately, uniting Albertans from small towns, rural regions, and big cities in support of the cause.
Building on last year’s success, Sadleir will not just take on the challenge again, he is extending his route, his reach, and his goal for results.
The journey will commence in Lethbridge on July 7th and finish in Edmonton July 23rd – five years to the day that Sadleir’s father received his life-saving lung transplant. This year’s walk is in celebration of that milestone, and in commemoration of a dear family member who lost his life to respiratory complications earlier this year.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND: Lung Disease does NOT target smokers and the elderly – it affects EVERYONE – babies, young children, young adults and otherwise healthy people.
From Chis Sadleir:
I HUMBLY ask for your support in my WALK TO BREATHE, and the fight against lung disease. Your kindness and consideration is a BREATH OF FRESH AIR, as we work together to make a difference across Alberta and NWT.”
“In 2020, I walked from Calgary to Edmonton and raised over $33,000 to support lung disease patients and increase awareness about the far-reaching affects of lung disease.
This year, my Walk To Breathe will take me from Lethbridge to Edmonton – over 500 km, with a goal to raise $50,000 for the Lung Association of AB & NWT.
Having experienced the devastating affects of lung disease within my own family, I am passionate about supporting all those who struggle to breathe. My Father is a 5-year Double Lung Transplant survivor, and a very dear member of our family lost his life due to respiratory complications in early March – they are the inspiration behind my walk this year.
My Walk To Breathe 2021 will begin in Lethbridge on July 7th and finish in Edmonton on July 23rd – marking the 5-year anniversary of my father’s transplant.
I HUMBLY ask for your support in my WALK TO BREATHE, and the fight against lung disease.
“The inspiration comes from my Father – my determination is for ALL Albertans”
Your kindness and consideration is a BREATH OF FRESH AIR, as we work together to make a difference across Alberta and NWT.
Two Edmonton Police Service officers have been jointly charged with assault and assault with a weapon after an altercation with a suspect in March.
The province’s police watchdog alleges the officers used forced and employed an electronic stun gun during the arrest of a male suspect.
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team investigated and determined that the two officers should be charged.
Const. Dustin Adsett and former Const. Oli Olason are to appear in Edmonton provincial court on Nov. 9.
