Event Further Information: 

Three people a day die from asthma. Asthma UK is the charity dedicated to changing this. We fund research and offer support because 90% of asthma deaths are preventable.

One of the vital services Asthma UK provides is the Adviceline which is staffed by asthma nurse specialists. They provide confidential advice and support to people with asthma and those who care for them.

"When I spoke to the Asthma UK nurses they were so knowledgeable and so sympathetic. They gave me so much good and needed advice they were amazing."

Jacqui, Dorset

Asthma UK is the largest voluntary funder of asthma research in the UK, investing over £50 million to date to find new treatments and ultimately a cure for asthma. For some people with asthma even climbing the stairs can feel like a mountain, never mind going outside their home, and with your help Asthma UK are working to change this.

So pull on your running shoes and register today to help people with asthma.
