KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- JTV®, the national jewelry retailer and broadcast network, is excited to announce its third annual Catch Your Breath® campaign, in partnership with Respiratory Health Association® (RHA) and co-sponsor Pulmonx® Corporation, to support the fight against women's lung disease.

At a time when respiratory health couldn't be more important, the month-long initiative aims to generate awareness about women's lung disease and raise funds for ongoing research efforts. Kicking off tomorrow, the campaign will provide viewers with endless educational opportunities to learn about the risk factors and symptoms of lung disease, along with the ability to donate funds to RHA's community lung health programs throughout the month of February 2021.

We are extremely proud to sponsor Respiratory Health Association's Catch Your Breath campaign for the third year and continue to support the fight against women's lung disease during such a crucial and trying time."

This year, JTV is also joined by Pulmonx, makers of The Zephyr® Valve, the first minimally invasive option to treat emphysema/COPD and help patients breathe easier without the risk of major surgery.

"At Pulmonx, our mission as a company is to improve the lives of patients with severe COPD/emphysema," said Glen French, President and CEO of Pulmonx. "We are honored to join with JTV to raise awareness around women's lung health and the importance of research and new treatment options for lung disease."
