Every breath is a gift. Earlier diagnosis protects it.
Donate now to help people like Jenna who are struggling to breathe.
Lung disease doesn’t discriminate. 1 in 3 Australians will be impacted in their lifetime.
After 3 years of looking for answers, one 20-minute test shattered the future Jenna thought she had.
Diagnosed with a rare, incurable lung disease, now Jenna is fiercely advocating for research into her condition – for her future, and her young daughter’s.
Donate to join Jenna in fighting for the research that will change everything for Australians living with lung disease.
Yes! I want to help protect the gift of breath for Australians who need it most.
Sheryl just wants to breathe normally again
After living with asthma since childhood, 67-year-old Sheryl was diagnosed with COPD in 2014.
COPD makes every breath a struggle. But for people living with the disease, like Sheryl, research is opening new doors.
New treatments are being explored for people who continue to experience flare-ups despite standard therapy, with the aim of better managing the disease and reducing exacerbations.
Recently, Sheryl learned she is a suitable candidate for one of the emerging treatments – something she hopes could make a real difference in her breathing, her energy, and her ability to enjoy her daily life.
“If it works I’ll be dancing in the streets. Literally dancing in the streets.” - Sheryl
But these breakthroughs don’t happen overnight. They happen because of people like you help fund the research, trials and treatments that make real change possible.
