Asthma + Lung UK fight for everyone's right to breathe
For too long, the nation’s lung health has been side lined and under-resourced. Over the past decade, outcomes for people with lung conditions have not improved to anywhere near the same extent as in other disease areas, including cardiovascular disease and cancer.
- 1 in 5 of us will develop a lung condition in our lifetime.
- There are more people living in the UK with a lung condition than heart disease and cancer combined.
- Lung conditions are the UK’s third biggest killer and a leading cause of death in children.
At Asthma + Lung UK, we are fighting for a world where good lung health and the ability to breathe freely are a basic right for all. From research and campaigning to advice and support, as the nation’s lung charity we are on a mission to change the way that lung health is perceived and transform lung health now and for future generations.
What is Love Your Lungs Week?
We rely on our lungs for every single breath we take. Yet, despite how fundamental they are, too many of us take our lungs for granted.
Love Your Lungs Week is the opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of good lung health with your colleagues, all while fundraising to change the future of lung conditions in the UK. For more information about Love your lungs week and about how you can get involved visit Asthma + Lung UK
