The Jerome Alston Memorial Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit public charity is hosting our Second Annual Breathe Easy 5K Run/Walk for Asthma Awareness with a concurrent health expo on May 2, 2015 at Mt. Trashmore in Virginia Beach. 

May is Asthma Awareness Month and the Jerome Alston Memorial Foundation is joining with thousands of organizations to increase public awareness of the asthma epidemic. Asthma affects more than 25 million people of all ages and races. And although it is a widespread disease, public awareness of common asthma triggers as well as effective asthma management strategies remain limited.

For health & fitness professionals, we would like for you to participate in our health expo, which will occur during and after the 5K. Our goal for the health expo is to educate the community on asthma and allergy prevention measures as well as other health related information. I would like for this to be as informative and hands on as possible.

This event and the profits from this event will be used to support youth development and health and human services and continual health education. We appreciate your support for our community and charitable activities.
