“I've struggled with the fear of not being able to breathe... it's a constant battle”
- Meg.
Imagine what that’s like?
To have to function on such a small amount of air.
To have to teach and parent and live your life, without enough air to breathe properly.
This was Meg’s life, battling asthma.
Nearly 2.8 million Australians live with asthma. When you read Meg’s story, imagine it’s someone you know.
Asthma is serious. At least 1 Australian dies every day because of asthma.
Your support provides life-saving information and services that help people like Meg really live, not just exist.
Thanks for keeping mums like Meg out of hospital
Because of your support today, more people and families living with asthma have the information and support they need to live their lives freely.
Because of the help she got from Asthma Australia’s Educator when she called 1800 ASTHMA, Meg says,
“I’m in really good health. I am now able to go hiking and camping and do all the things I love without issue. That phone call made such a huge difference. Now I can walk my child to school. I can go to a park with him. I couldn’t do that before.”
Thank you for caring for others in our community.
Thank you for helping to fund vital medical research and asthma education.
