Please join us for our 3rd Annual Gator Steps for Lung Disease benefiting the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine. This 5K walk/run aims to expedite research that could help with understanding various lung diseases and development of treatments as well as patient education.
The University of Florida Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine and Fowler Lung Foundation are thrilled to collaborate and host this event. We hope our community will join us on March 7, 2026 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., at the UF Cancer & Genetics Research Complex.
Gator Steps for Lung Disease will include a wide range of activities for friends and families. This event is FREE to attend though there is a small fee to participate in the 5K. Those who cannot run or walk a 5K are still encouraged to attend the community event. There will be speakers and local organizations/vendors that are free and available to everyone.
All proceeds from this event support patients and their families undergoing treatment for pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis at UF Health
