Hide AdBreathe Easy member Sheila Hall said: “Because both Paul and Sandra were born and raised in Worthing, they had so much knowledge to impart and members found the visit very enlightening and enjoyable.”
In return, the visitors passed on information about the foundation’s work, such as highlighting one in four people in the UK now suffer with one of 44 lung diseases.
Breathe Easy Week is an annual awareness event, focusing on lung health, with this years’ theme being ‘love your lungs’.
The Worthing group currently has 70 members and meets at Field Place Tennis Club on the second Friday of the month at 2.30pm, with guest speakers including respiratory consultants and nurses.
