The Lung Foundation Australia has created a powerful TV commercial featuring real patients and their families, reminding us that lung disease impacts people from all walks of life, young and old.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The campaign was created by Queensland based Bordertown Films and Oyo Studio, and captures genuine, emotive moments with patients and their families.<\/p>\n

Michel\u00a0Itel,\u00a0who stars in the television commercial with his wife and daughters,\u00a0was just 42 when he was diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For weeks, Michel carried the weight of his shocking diagnosis with the support of his wife. Michel\u2019s two beautiful daughters lost their Mum at a young age, so telling them that their Dad also had a terminal illness was heart-wrenching. Michel said, \u201cresearch means I\u2019m fortunate to have access to life-changing treatment as part of a trial. This treatment is giving me more precious time with my family \u2013 more birthdays, more holidays, more moments.\u201d<\/p>\n
