The
Lung Association hosts a variety of special events in communities
across Ontario. Participating in a special event is a great way to
have fun, build community spirit and raise money to help people with
lung disease. Whether you choose to attend our Festival of Trees,
walk, bike, or play golf, you will be helping the six million Canadians
who have a breathing problem. Special events also give the public
vital information about asthma, quitting smoking, clean air and BreathWorks,
our new program for patients with chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD).
