| KNOXVILLE, Tenn., /PRNewswire/ -- JTV (Jewelry Television) announced a new partnership with Respiratory Health Association and the “Catch Your Breath” campaign to support the fight against women’s lung disease and educate the public about the disproportionate effects of lung disease on women. National jewelry retailer and broadcast network, JTV, will promote the Catch Your Breath campaign throughout the month of February to increase awareness and educate viewers about the risks of lung disease, while raising funds for Respiratory Health Association’s Catch Your Breath initiative for women and lung health.
JTV is also making it easy for viewers to join the Catch Your Breath initiative, with opportunities to participate and show support for the cause.
“The number of lung disease cases has increased tremendously over the last three decades, and unfortunately, women have been disproportionally affected,” said Tim Matthews, CEO of JTV. “With the majority of JTV customers being women, working with Respiratory Health Association on the Catch Your Breath campaign is one way we can help make a greater impact for our consumers. We’re looking forward to helping bring awareness to the risks of lung disease and contributing to increased funding for vital research.” “Women’s lung health is the public health crisis no one is talking about. One out of every six women in the United States is living with chronic lung disease such as asthma, COPD, or lung cancer, yet federal research funding for these diseases is severely lacking,” says Joel Africk, President and CEO at Respiratory Health Association. “That’s why the ‘Catch Your Breath’ campaign and our partnership with JTV are so important – it is critical we get people talking about this issue and work to turn the tide in the fight against lung disease.” For more information and to donate, please visit www.jtv.com/breath or www.womenslunghealth.org.
