- Breathe Better September
Sign up for Breathe Better September as an individual or as part of a team and set yourself an active challenge! Each small step helps raise funds so that Kiwis with a respiratory condition can breathe easier.
1 in 7 Kiwi kids have asthma, and over 700,000 Kiwis are living with a respiratory condition in New Zealand. This includes asthma, bronchiectasis, childhood bronchiolitis, childhood pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer and obstructive sleep apnoea.
All the money raised will go the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation to continue their research, training and education initiatives to develop and support respiratory health best practice.
