Lace Up for Lungs Challenge

November is COPD Awareness Month, and we need your help! Each fall, the COPD Foundation and the lung health community celebrate by raising awareness, critical funds, and encouraging early diagnosis for COPD, bronchiectasis, and nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung diseases.

When you become a lung health champion this fall, you're contributing to research, early diagnosis, and educational efforts - all while advocating for and supporting individuals living with chronic lung disease and their families. Sign up to get involved today and be entered in weekly giveaways!

Here are some ways you can become a lung health champion this fall:

• Get Active with Lace up for Lungs: Get moving for 30 minutes every day in November. Start a Facebook fundraiser, invite your friends to donate and join, and post about your daily activity progress in the Facebook group. Join the Facebook group and get started.
• Donate or Start a Fundraiser: Whether you contribute yourself or share the opportunity to give with others, you will be supporting research, education, community, and advocacy for those affected by chronic lung disease. Donate today!
• Share on Social Media: We will send you resources, images, sample posts, challenges, and more when you sign up to Lace Up for Lungs!
• Light the Night Orange for COPD: This year, we want lung health champions across the nation to light their city halls, bridges, and other local official buildings orange during the month of November. To get started, buy a string of lights for your building or search for commemorative lighting request forms in your area.
• Wear Orange for COPD Awareness Day: November 20, 2024, is World COPD Day and Wear Orange Day! You can wear orange and invite your friends, families, co-workers, church members, or other connections to join you. Take a picture of your orange outfit and share it on social media. We invite you to tag the COPD Foundation and use hashtags such as #WorldCOPDDay and #LaceUpForLungs
• Order a Lace Up for Lungs T-shirt: Show your support as a Lung Health Champion by sporting a Lace up for Lungs t-shirt or other fashion accessory! Visit the Store
