Echo Fundraiser for COPD

The Tallaght based support group for people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) – an incurable disease which makes it hard to empty air out of your lungs and causes shortness of breath and tiredness – is The Echo’s chosen charity partner for this year’s fundraiser.

“There are 100,000 in Ireland who have been diagnosed with COPD, and it’s estimated that twice that number are undiagnosed.” - Nicky Coules PRO of the Tallaght COPD Support Group
