Pictured: the Huff 'n Puffs pulmonary rehab group of St. Joseph's Hospital, Denver, Colorado - KEEPS MOVING! tomorrow will be another day of proving how much pulmonary rehab helps improve a COPDer's functions & quality of life. Most everyone shows up, and the staff as well...they are super caring to give time on FATHER's day Sunday. The STADIUM STAMPEDE, a fund raising event for the hospital. Last year the BRONCOs mascot mustang was there to thrill the children, along with bungee jumping, rock wall climbing, a 1K run for them and walk for lung challenged, and the 5K run/walk for everyone...with some elite athletes attending too.
