Huff & puff for asthma!

Soon after I got the COVID bug in 2022, I ended up in the emergency room of a hospital because of an asthma attack. It was terrifying and changed the way I live. Living with asthma means I can still do everything I want to, as long as I have my handy inhaler by my side. (No, aunty, it's not a vape.) 

Asthma Australia is a great resource for people with asthma to learn how to manage it and not let it hold us back. To raise funds for them, I'm challenging myself to 10 days straight of fitness activities. You best believe, I'll be wheezing through most of them, but I'll keep going at the pace that works for me. 

Some reasons why you should support Asthma Australia:

• Asthma is responsible for at least 1 Australian death every day and around 100 hospitalisations every day. Over 80% of these hospitalisations are considered potentially avoidable. 
• 1 in 9 Australians are directly impacted by asthma, with children being the most impacted.

Your support will fund ground-breaking research and provide free support programs and services to the asthma community, like 1800 ASTHMA - a telephone information support service for people with asthma and their carers.
