Reasons to give
Give access to pulmonary rehabilitation
There are far too few pulmonary rehab programs in Canada. Transportation and location can create additional barriers. Our BREATHE Better | Stay STRONG virtual pulmonary rehabilitation program is a free, online program that anyone can participate in, from the comfort of home and at their own pace.
Reasons to give
Give children a full night's sleep
Sleep apnea in children can cause daytime sleepiness, fatigue, poor growth, heart problems, delays in proper brain development, bed wetting and behavior problems both at home and at school. Unfortunately, pediatric CPAP machines can cost more than $2,000. We offer grants to support families who otherwise couldn’t afford the machines and equipment their child needs.
Reasons to give
Make homes safe places to breathe
Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in Canada. Radon exposure is estimated to be the cause of 16% of lung cancers. Through the Lungs Matter program, we offer grants to cover the cost of home radon mitigation for low-income Canadians with lung disease who are living with high radon levels.

Lungs are for Life! is an engaging, evidence-based resource for educators to help students learn more about about the dangers of smoking and vaping so they can make healthy and informed decisions.
