In the Office

During January, we experienced some technical failures at our office which prevented us from sending out our monthly e-newsletter. This also prevented us from receiving all e-mails sent to our “lungsrus” accounts. So, if we did not respond to an e-mail from you during that time period, please contact us again. We apologize for the inconvenience but are happy to say that all of our issues have been resolved! Thank you as always for your support and we hope you enjoy the return of the Breathe Free!
