BL VD continued from p.12 "The other thing is that you need to be aware that you can get pneumonia. "You should go to the doctor if you suspect you have the flu just in case it's actually pneumonia. Get it checked out because you can die from it." Regular hand washing and access to clean water and sanitation protects people against the pathogens that causes pneumonia and other diseases, health officials say. Health officials also say exclusive breast feeding during the first six months of life and adequate nutrition also protects babies from disease. As part of November being Pneumonia Awareness Month, Clemons and the Lung Association created the "Grounded" video as a means of getting the word out (http://goo.gl/ WzixKm). "I didn't get the chance to know my grandmother and neither did my mother because of the disease," Clemons said. "Neither did my kids, so we all would have had a chance to have some relationship had she not died from the illness. "By increasing awareness of this disease and encouraging Canadians to take preventative steps, we hope they will be able to see the great things in life that my grandmother never got a chance to see, such as her daughter growing up." While participating in a Remembrance Day service Clemons learned Lt.-Col. John McCrae, who wrote In Flanders Fields, also died from pneumonia. "He was actually still out in the field leading his troops," Clemons said. As a well-known public figure, Clemons is Pneumonia can follow flu and can be life-threatening grateful to have the chance to help raise the awareness. "It's more common than most people know," Clemons said. "It doesn't take a whole lot of time for me to use my voice. It provides me with an opportunity to bring attention to this cause. To give people a heads up so to speak. "As you do normally at this time of the year, just be cognizant and remember to wash your hands. And remember that pneumonia is bigger than the flu. It isn't something that takes just a couple of weeks to get over. It's far more serious." Pneumonia is also one of the leading causes of hospitalizations and death in seniors, resulting in a significant impact on the healthcare system. More than 70 per cent of adults who survive pneumonia will be rehospitalized within five years. "Many believe that immunization is only for children, but the good news is that pneumococcal pneumonia may be preventable through vaccination," said Ontario Lung Association president and CEO George Habib. "By increasing awareness, we hope that Canadians will take the necessary steps to help protect themselves against potentially life-threatening and life-altering lung diseases like pneumococcal pneumonia." Canadians are invited to participate and help raise awareness. A $5 donation will be given to the OLA each time the Grounded video is shared on social media via Twitter or Facebook.
