The national campaign “walking Race against COPD” has been launched on the 31st of January in Marseille, France. The aim is to call public attention to COPD and to explain the meaning of this term and the burden of COPD. Each month during 2010theFFAAIRcaravan will go to a different French city for one day. The caravan proposes to measure the respiratory function and the pulmonary age and to take part in the northern walking race. Around 300 persons have measured the age of their lungs and 6 sessions of northern walking have been organized in Parc Borely in Marseille. This campaign had the same success in Grenoble on 28th of March. We are sure that this campaign will raise awareness of COPD and improve the possibilities of prevention and diagnosis.  http://www.ffaair.org/
