“Lungs in Action has given me the opportunity to continue to exercise regularly after finishing pulmonary rehabilitation. If I am not able to attend for a week, I really miss it. I also really enjoy the social side of the class and would go to more classes if they were available.”
Viola, Gold Coast Lungs in Action Participant
