{"product_id":"2940016542621","title":"Breathing Should Never Be Hard Work","description":"Robert Davidson was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in October 2007 after having difficulties with the fitness test necessary to retain senior level soccer referee status.\u003cbr\u003eRather than give in to the disease and die, he decided to fight and live as normal a life as possible, borrowing from Winston Churchill, the mantra “Never surrender”. He and his wife, Heather, believe it was this attitude that led to him “winning” a double lung transplant January 30, 2010, just weeks before he would have died from the disease.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is about his journey with that life threatening disease.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough it “steals away the sufferer’s breath” Robert travelled to China (finding 12,800 feet up the Himalayas too high) and to the highlands of Scotland for his wife’s 60th birthday celebration.\u003cbr\u003eHe describes with great candour, and sometimes humour, the worst symptoms and challenges of Pulmonary Fibrosis. The huge efforts of getting up in the morning, visiting the local pub for “attitude adjustment hour” and just breathing.\u003cbr\u003eThe relief of the lung transplant that saved his life and the establishment of The Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation tells us that we should all have hope and never surrender.\u003cbr\u003eHope you enjoy the journey!","brand":"FriesenPress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146662396144,"sku":"2940016542621","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016542621_p0.jpg?v=1763656598","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016542621","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
