Story
Lung health is important: 43,000 early deaths are attributed to air pollution every year; 1 in every 5 people will have a lung condition in their lifetime, including 5.4 million people in the UK living with asthma and 1.7 million people with COPD.
We are cycling to improve lung health !
We are doctors and scientists from The University of Manchester/Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, cycling to Amsterdam.
We will be at the European Respiratory Society International Congress, where we will be joined by other leaders in the field of respiratory research to present and discuss ground-breaking research.
We are fundraising for Asthma + Lung UK. They are the only UK charity that fights for everyone’s right to breathe. Every pound we are able to raise will take us a step closer to a world where everyone has healthy lungs.
Just £24 could support a researcher to carry out an hour of lung health research. We would be very grateful for any donations you could make!
