WASHINGTON, DC…. The week of March 16th members and friends of the COPD Foundation, Bronchiectasis, and other Associations converged in Washington, DC for a day of lung health advocacy with the nation’s lawmakers. 

The group was joined by Tom Manges (Rocky), a Professional Truck Driver for McClymonds Supply and Transit.  Tom’s wife Renee suffered from COPD and received a double lung transplant two years ago.  Rocky became an advocate for COPD awareness as Renee fought her battle. 

McClymonds Supply and Transit offered to design a truck promoting COPD Awareness, which Rocky proudly drives every day.  Rocky drove the 2024 Peterbilt 389 to the nation’s Capital in Washington, DC on March 18th, where it was on display from 9:30 am until3:30 pm.

Rocky Manges serves as the Captain for the COPD Foundation in Pennsylvania.  He is happy to report that Renee is doing well.
