In our most recent letter to community members, we In our most recent letter to community members, we included two special items.  The first was a Christmas ornament for our community to display at home as a gesture of appreciation for their continued support. The second was an ornament that could be returned to us for display in our office.  Many members wrote the names of loved ones who are living with asthma, as well as those who have tragically lost their lives to it.  From all of us at Asthma Canada, thank you to everyone who took part and to all who have generously contributed to our Holiday Appeal.  Your support means so much to our organization and to the asthma community across the country.
