Asthma Australia

Asthma is a lifelong condition of the airways. About 1 in 9 Australians have asthma, one of the highest rates in the world.

It can appear at any stage in life, from babyhood, childhood, adolescence through to adulthood.

Sadly, in spite of advances in medical knowledge, every year 400 Australians still die from asthma.

It’s still not known why some people develop it, but we are confident genetics and the environment play a part.

50 years ago, there was very little known about asthma. In the 1960’s there were very few drugs available to manage it and the ones that were available had many unwanted side-effects.

We have come a long way since then but there is still a long way to go to reduce the impact of asthma on the lives of people and their families.

By leaving a gift in your will you can help people with asthma breathe easy, and not just to live, but to have a full and empowered life, striving for goals and achieving them. A life without limits.

Once you have taken care of your family and friends, please consider leaving a gift in your will to Asthma Australia.

Your gift can help reduce the hurt and heartache of asthma, and prevent, research and stop asthma.
