I’m getting breathless for asthma!

I’m challenging myself to 10 days straight of fitness activity because, unlike people with asthma I can breathe easily. I want to stand with them and really experience what it’s like, even just for a moment, to struggle to breathe. 

• 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.
