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.

We are busy planning the next event for 2026.
We're so grateful to everyone who participated!

"My little sister gets sick a lot with asthma and she goes to hospital heaps. This makes me feel super sad and stressed so I really want to find a cure to make sure she's safe and happy."
