Our Founders
Based in Flemington, NJ, Right2Breathe® was co-founded by Joe Morrison and Tim Charlet; two second-generation drag racers who have personal experience as caregivers for family members with a respiratory disease.
Our First Screening Event
We completed our first Right2Breathe Project COPD Education, Screening, and Awareness event in Bakersfield, California during the California Hot Rod Reunion, screening more than 300 people and engaging with thousands more.
Over 4,000 Screened Since 2014
After Bakersfield, we expanded our Right2Breathe Project to NHRA National Events in Charlotte, NC, Maple Grove, PA, and Epping, NH. We have partnered with hospitals, schools, businesses and even a local minor league baseball team. Including local events, we’ve screened over 4,000 for lung function.
