Martyn's journey
When everything changed.
Martyn was living with COPD and was deeply affected by wildfire smoke. Every breath was difficult, and every smoky day made life even harder.
When he needed a lung transplant, Alberta Lung was there with the support, education, and compassion he needed to get through the hardest days. Martyn received his lung transplant six months ago and is grateful for the support he received, made possible by donations from people like you. Please watch his update here.
