abstract = {Our colleagues from Emphysema Foundation for Our Right to Survive (EFFORTS), whose article is published in this issue of the International COPD Coalition (ICC) Column, are part of one of the most active and successful of all the US COPD patient groups (1). They truly involve COPD patients and their families in their educational and advocacy efforts.
