The Lung Association is one of Canada's oldest voluntary non-profit health promotion organization. A program about living with lung disease. One in every five Canadians suffer from a breathing problem. More than 31,000 people die each year from respiratory diseases such as emphysema, asthma and lung cancer. The incidence of asthma is dramatically increasing.
Respiratory disease is the third largest cause of death in Canada.
The Lung Association with your help would like to change that. By joining together with The Lung Association as a financial contributor or as a volunteer you can help those people suffering from lung disease. Since 1904 Canadians have financially supported The Lung Association through their generous gifts to the Christmas Seal Campaign and other fund raising initiatives. Contact your local Lung Association for more information on fund raising or volunteer activities. Millions of Canadians suffering from respiratory disease are counting on your support.
