Lung disease remains one of the leading causes of death and disability in Canada, touching families in every community. That’s why we proudly laced up for the Tamarack Run in Ottawa this past weekend, coming together to raise critical funds that will help Canadians breathe easier and live healthier lives.

And what a weekend it was! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, teammates, friends and family, we surpassed our fundraising goal.

To everyone who donated, cheered us on and supported our runners along the way: thank you. Your support is making a real difference, and we truly couldn’t have done it without you!

A good support system is important to help smokers get through withdrawal symptoms and stay motivated about their choice to quit smoking for good. 🚭

Ultimately, the decision to quit needs to be made by the person who smokes. But by providing positive support and understanding, you can help someone through it.

It’s more common than you think, and often mistaken for a cold. đŸ«

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infects the lungs and airways and can affect people of all ages, but it’s especially common in infants and young children. In fact, almost all children have had RSV by age three.

RSV season typically runs from late fall to early spring. And while repeat infections can happen throughout life, symptoms are often milder after the first infection, especially in older children and adults, where it may look like a common cold.

Knowing the facts is the first step in protecting vulnerable lungs. In early April, Health Canada updated their guidance related to RSV vaccinations for older adults and infants.

Breathe life into your legacy!

Did you know a planned gift not only supports the important work we do, but it can also help you and your loved ones?

Planned giving allows you to leave a more significant gift than you could during your lifetime, and your estate can receive a charitable tax receipt to help offset taxes. We encourage you to speak to your accountant about each option’s tax advantages.

Remember, there is no cost to you now and you can always change your mind.
