Lung Health News, Fall 2007 / Winter 2008
In life, Anita McCullough was deeply concerned about keeping kids away from tobacco and improving air quality. In passing, she left a $1 million legacy that will help the American Lung Association of California save lives. McCullough had become addicted to tobacco while in college during the 1930s, which resulted in a type of lung disease that deprived her of lung capacity and required her to stay hooked up to oxygen. She spent her final years living in Palm Desert and supporting an organization she trusted. “I just want to make sure the American Lung Association is able to continue working to clean up the air and keep kids from smoking,” she once said.
