EFFORTS: Emphysema Foundation For Our Right To Survive

a non-profit organization which takes an active role in promoting research for more effective treatment and, hopefully, a cure for Emphysema and related lung diseases. We also work to further the education of those who are not completely familiar with our disease, and we provide a support mailing list for our members. . . In late November of 1997, Gary Bain, Mick Wagner and Sharon Adkins, were members of another COPD support group. We had an idea that there might be interest in forming sort of a "members profile" site that would be accessible by the group we were members of at that time. . . We started it in December of 1997 and it took off like gangbusters. Suddenly everyone was interested in completing the Questionnaire to see how they compared to others by actually comparing the Profiles in writing. We kept adding questions to it as well. It still is one of our favorite parts of our "family" and can be seen by clicking on Members Pages and Profiles from http://www.emphysema.net/bindex.html .. . . We have no commercial ties with any company. We are only people with Emphysema, we are only human. We are only humans with Emphysema. We are not multimillionaire's although we are an industry for many multimillionaire's. We are the "tired, the hungry, and the poor" in many ways.
