Boehringer Ingelheim (Canada) Ltd and The Lung Association present 'With Every Breath' 

With Every Breath, hosted by the late Peter Gzowski just before his untimely death from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), airs Sunday, April 28 on Global TV and the Prime Network.

This commercial free half-hour program will give viewers an understanding of what Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is, who gets it, symptoms, treatment and control. With Every Breath features Canada's leading respirologists and interviews with sufferers of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

Sufferers of COPD agree that when you can't breathe, nothing else matters. If you are curious as to what everyday life is like for a person with COPD try breathing through a straw for just a minute or two. Sufferers of COPD are breathing like that twenty-four hours a day every day. One in five people in hospital have COPD. The disease kills one Canadian every hour and one of those people was Peter Gzowski.
