Firefighter Lung Recovery

Donation protected
Firefighters are being exposed to toxic smoke and fire retardant chemicals while in the line of duty protecting our communities. A career in firefighting is clearly a hazardous job yet most people are surprised to learn that the after-effects of the toxic exposure are more life threatening than the job itself.

A study in 2016 revealed that Cancer causes 70% of line-of-duty deaths for career firefighters. The cancers mostly responsible for this higher risk were respiratory (lung, mesothelioma), 
GI (oral cavity, esophageal, large intestine), and kidney. On average firefighters have a 75% greater risk of developing these cancers than the general population!

My name is Owen Monroy and I am raising money to provide respiratory recovery services to support the lungs of our firefighters from toxic exposure in the line of duty. In 2018
I founded my business Oxygen Rally which focuses on breathing and cardiorespiratory fitness for better health and performance. I am seeking community support to help fund additional equipment and session fees so that I can meet the needs of our first responders and help ensure they recover from the hazardous environments they endure.

OXYGEN BOOSTER PROGRAM

I am launching the OXYGEN BOOSTER program via this GoFundMe campaign to support the health and performance of firefighters. The first goal of this project is to provide 20 firefighters based in the Contra Costa Area with a 1-month recovery experience including 8-sessions focused on the the amazing respiratory benefits of oxygen and altitude contrast training. Participants wear a mask while exercising and experience alternating breathing environments of 4X Oxygen and 11,000ft of altitude. The benefits of this style of training are significant, especially for those focusing on respiratory recovery and detoxification.

While our program is a non-medical service it has been used by medical doctors to:
- Revitalize Lungs & Accelerate Recovery
- Detoxify After Toxic Exposure
- Expand Endurance in Low Oxygen Environments
- Improve Brain Health & TBI recovery
- Enhance Oxygen Efficiency & Build Peak Power
- Increase VO2 Max (maximum oxygen consumption)
- Optimize Circulation & Nutrient Delivery
- Relieve Inflammation to Joint & Muscles
- Build Greater CO2 Tolerance
