1 person in 7 is affected by lung disease in some way from asthma, to more serious illnesses like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, auto immune diseases such as sarcoidosis, or lung cancer. A lot of people seem to think that lung disease is only associated with smoking and although it is the leading cause, many of these illnesses have nothing to do with tobacco, have unknown causes and are currently incurable. The people that suffer them are often completely debilitated by them. The British Lung Foundation work for a positive change in lung health. They do this by campaigning, raising awareness about smoking, asbestos, and general lung health, alongside funding world-class research.

I'm supporting the British Lung Foundation through 2010 and hope that in some small way, the money that I raise will do some good.
