Good idea. In the meantime, try going to your local Breathe Easy group.

Hi Paul,

What a brilliant vision, thank you for sharing it. It would be fantastic.

It may just be a dream at the moment, but who knows in the future. Our focus remains to campaign for significantly more funding and money to be pumped into lung health , so let's keep our fingers crossed that one day these sorts of retreats could become a reality.

Best wishes,

Ben
