- In the next issue of the COPD Digest, you will find a 'mini-toolkit' on how you can be active during November COPD Awareness Month. Be sure to be on the COPD Foundation’s mailing list! If you currently don’t receive emails from the Foundation, sign up by calling the C.O.P.D. Information Line at 1-866-316-COPD (2673).
- Be an advocate on November COPD Awareness Month! Sign up for Operation 435 to receive updates from Joe LaMountain and be part of the movement. Call the Information Line for details.
- See what the talk is all about! Take the Lung Health Check on the COPD Foundation website: www.copdfoundation.org or on WebMD: www.webmd.com/lung-disease-health-check.
- We’re going for the gold! On COPD Awareness Day (November 18^th) we will be offering free spirometry testing at the Minneapolis Mall of America to break the world record of most spirometries done in one day! Check out website calendar or call the Information Line for details.
- Have questions about nutrition, exercise, and COPD management? Maybe the COPD Big Fat Reference Guide? has the answers. Call the Information Line for more details on the BFRG and other new publications from the COPDF.
- The COPDF is co-sponsoring the COPD Educator Course series for RTs with the American Association for Respiratory care. Next event: October 1^st and 2^nd in Denver, CO. More information is available at www.aarc.org/go/co.
- Don’t forget about the COPDF this fall! You can help in many ways. You can donate your time, efforts, or money and be a great help to your fellow COPDers in the community. It’s up to each of us to help.
