Comedian Mary Walsh And Lung Association Speak Out About COPD, Canada

Main Category: COPD

Article Date: 11 Nov 2009

Celebrated comedian and actress Mary Walsh is using her voice to raise awareness about Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) for this year's World COPD campaign. Walsh is best known for her work on the acclaimed TV show This Hour Has 22 Minutes, especially her character, Marg Delahunty, a sword-wielding warrior princess who cornered Canadian politicians on camera.

"Many people know the lighter side of Mary, but COPD is something she is very serious about. This is a disease that has affected three of her family members. It's no laughing matter to her and that is why she has made a public service announcement for us," says Jennifer Schenkel, director of communication and marketing for The Lung Association.
