When can I start??

  1. Hi i'm not sure I know what you are referring to? What would you like to start? best, Sam S. (COPD team).

    1. Hello Sam, I am interested in doing something that doesn't require physical work, due to being in stage 4 COPD. I would like to educate children between 7 to 16 years old by showing them first hand the damage smoking/toking can do. I think if I could show and speak about my baggage a large concentrator, mobile concentrator and oxygen tanks that are part of my daily life, plus the medicine and vitamins and food intake I need each day due to need of extra calories to slow COPD down because the bottom line is that their is no cure other than a lung transplant that are not common due to availability. It could be done by setting up program and a team and going to schools.

      1. What a great idea, ! We have a wonderful community that can help you get started with advocacy, SocialHealthNetwork.com. That would be a great place to start. The people are super supportive and will have plenty of ideas for finding ways to reach your audience. You'll find lots of great resources there as well. I hope this helps. Wishing you the very best. - Lori (Team Member)
