Event History
Breathe Deep Baltimore was founded in 2008 in memory of Betsy Hamer, who was diagnosed with lung cancer in December 2003 and lost her courageous battle on February 25, 2007. Betsy was a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, and sister; a homemaker, crafter, and gardener; and a friend to many. Cindy Malloy, Betsy's youngest daughter, refused to just sit back in sorrow and vowed to make a change for all those affected by lung cancer. She organized the first Maryland LUNGevity event, "Breathe for Betsy on the Boardwalk." Over the years this event has evolved to emcompass so much more and bring together so many people affected by this disease, all who want to make a difference. This year's Breathe Deep Baltimore is the 6th to raise money for lung cancer research.
