It’s time to spotlight one of the most serious lung infections: Pneumonia.

It causes inflammation in one or both lungs, filling the air sacs with fluid or pus and making it harder for your body to get the oxygen it needs.

At first, it can seem like a bad cold — cough, fever, chest pain and shortness of breath — but symptoms can worsen quickly, even becoming life-threatening. Pneumonia is especially dangerous for older adults and people living with chronic lung disease.

Today is National Philanthropy Day, a day to celebrate the power of giving and the impact it creates. ❤️

A few months ago, we set out on a mission: to celebrate 125 years of supporting lung health by asking Canadians to give $125 in honour of this milestone.

Thanks to everyone who has donated so far, we’ve seen incredible generosity and community spirit!

November is COPD Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about a disease that affects more than two million Canadians.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a treatable, progressive lung disease that makes it harder to breathe over time. It’s one of the leading causes of hospitalization in Canada, and it’s estimated that up to a million more people may be living with COPD without knowing it.

Early detection and management can make a big difference. If you or someone you love experiences shortness of breath, a persistent cough or frequent chest infections, talk to your health-care provider and get your lungs checked.
