Todd Lansing has always been a strong and healthy individual. A former college basketball player, he began participating in the Fight For Air Climb in Denver almost 20 years ago after losing loved ones to lung disease. However, his own battle with COVID-19 nearly took his life.
In April 2021, Lansing contracted COVID-19 and was hospitalized. His conditions were not good and the medical team informed his wife, Denise Lansing, and his family that he had only 1% chance of survival, with his body expected to expire within 30 days. Despite the odds against him, he not only survived but thrived, already surpassing day 675 (and counting), as of this writing, of his journey toward recovery.
Even though his lungs are scarred from COVID-19, he is still participating in the Fight For Air Climb, demonstrating resilience and a will to overcome obstacles.
“I'm going to give it a shot. I have an army of friends and medical workers who are also interested in joining,” said Lansing.
He and his team are coming together for the Fight For Air Climb at Coors Field to climb a total of 1,198 stairs to support people with lung disease who are fighting for every breath.
Our mission is to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease.
For 120 years, Americans have trusted us to protect their lungs, whether it's researching treatments and cures for lung diseases, keeping kids off tobacco, including e-cigarettes, or advocating for laws that protect the air we all breathe.
Our Strategic Imperatives:
1. Defeat lung cancer
2. Champion clean air for all
3. Improve the quality of life for those with lung disease and their families
4. Create a tobacco-free future
