Alpha-1 Awareness month in November 2011 was a huge success. The seed for Alpha-1 Awareness Month was planted more than a decade ago when President Clinton declared Alpha-1 Awareness Month nationwide. Since then it has grown into a major grassroots effort led by the Alpha-1 Association and supported as well by the Alpha-1 Foundation and COPD Foundation. Last year, we expanded our awareness activities launching our Ripples of Hope campaign. There are many different ways you can participate and we encourage you to do at least one thing!
