why is fundraising so important
Asthma is a respiratory condition that affects 2.8 million Australians, with children being the most impacted. Asthma is responsible for at least one Australian death every day, making it a serious health concern. More than 30,000 people are hospitalised each year due to asthma, yet 80% of these hospitalisations are considered potentially avoidable.
Despite the prevalence of asthma, it is often misunderstood, causing fear and anxiety for those living with the condition.
However, there is hope. Because of fundraisers like you.
