Dear Congressman/Senator [last name of elected official],
Thank you for your leadership on portable oxygen accessibility. Due in large part to your advocacy, the FAA has agreed to permit portable oxygen concentrators aboard aircraft. This development benefits patients like me who depend on supplemental oxygen during air travel.
I was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension __ years ago. [Share about how you use supplemental oxygen therapy.]
The FAA's ruling is a step in the right direction. I am hopeful that airlines will comply with the standard so that patients can benefit from the rule.
Thank you once again for your advocacy on behalf of patients like me. I appreciate your support on this important issue.
Sincerely,
[your name]
