My Activity Tracking
I have completed
of my 5 km sprint goal.
My target 5 km
I’m getting breathless for asthma!
Nothing like getting back into running for a cause that’s affects my Sammy boy. Basically Asthma sucks, from 10 months of age Sammy has had numerous challenging hospital stays, including PICU , for his (viral infection which causes his asthma) asthma. Hopefully he’ll grow out of it as the drs keep saying. But for others it can be a long life struggle.
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.
