It ain’t easy being wheezy
I am participating in the Asthma Huff and Puff Challenge as both an asthmatic and someone deeply affected by the impact of asthma. Living with asthma every day, I totally understand the challenges and importance of raising awareness and support for those affected by this condition. This cause holds a special place in my heart, especially after losing my 19-year-old sister, Courtney, to a sudden asthma attack in 2019. Through this challenge, my aim is to honour Courtney’s memory and contribute to a future where no one has to experience such a tragic loss due to asthma.
- 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.
You can show your support by using the Donate button. 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 that receives around 20 calls a day from people with asthma and their carers.
“An Asthma Educator really changed my life. I have never in my life been more well than I am now, due to that call I made to Asthma Australia. Can’t recommend them highly enough. I learned more in that 40 minute chat than I have in my lifetime.”
