Asthma Society of Ireland
In Ireland, there are
currently 380,000 people with asthma, with 890,000 people likely to have it in
their lifetime. We have the 4th highest prevalence rate in the
world. Every 8 minutes someone is hospitalised due to asthma complications, and
every 5 days someone dies from it. Over
90% of those deaths are preventable. Our goal is to stop asthma deaths by 2030.
overview
This September we are running our biggest community event called 'Take a Breath' over the last weekend of September and we invite you to join us! We have two different ways you can get involved outlined below. Get involved today and help stop preventable asthma deaths by 2030!
GUIDED GLENDALOUGH HIKE *OVERNIGHT EVENT POSTPONED DUE TO ADVERSE WEATHER*
On the 30th of September, we invite you to join us on our Guided Glendalough hike, with a unique overnight stay in sheltered hammocks, around a campfire, with a tasty meal provided under the stars. There is a registration fee of €150, with a fundraising goal of €500 per person. For more information on the hike, click the 'Guided Glendalough Hike' event below.
HIKE YOUR WAY
For anyone not participating in the organised hike, we want you to create your very own breath-taking moment and organise your hike adventure over the weekend of the 29th of September. At the summit of your hike we want you to stop and take a breath using a simple breathing pose (we will share examples to inspire you!) and share your #takeabreath photo with us, with a prize for best photo to be won! For more info click on the 'Hike Your Way' event below.
