Lace Up for Lungs

Beginning in 2025, Lace Up for Lungs is a nationwide joint initiative of the COPD Foundation and the Bronchiectasis & NTM Association. Shifting from a seasonal campaign to a yearlong movement, Lace Up for Lungs is about taking simple steps towards overall lung health and well-being. This initiative is designed to inspire people of all ages and abilities to get moving for better lung health. We are proud to lead the charge for healthier lungs and stronger communities!

The Power of Movement

Lace Up for Lungs was created to remind us that movement is for everyone. It is about finding joy in motion, no matter your age or ability, and turning that joy into impact. When we come together and move with purpose, we not only support our own health, we shine a light of hope for millions living with chronic lung disease and those at risk.
