On the 16th January 2009 I lost my Dad, best and only friend . My Dad sadly died of emphysema. I will now dedicate the rest of my life raising money to help people with COPD. I will always remember for the rest of my life the last words my Dad said to me, " I love you so much John ", and hugged me forever, and then we waved goodbye to each other. I love you Dad, love always your loving son, John.
