"We are passionate about helping the ALA with their fight against ASTHMA; especially children with asthma. We know first hand that asthma can kill and that everyone must learn how serious and debilitating this disease can be. We are tired of hearing, "Oh you have asthma" like it's nothing more than a cold with a simple remedy of an inhaler!" - Bill and Barbara Adams
