Host a fundraiser
From climbing a mountain, to selling a mountain of cakes, there are so many ways to help New Zealanders living with lung and heart conditions.
Get involved and help us make a difference
The Foundation receives no Government funding, so we rely on the support of generous people like you to keep doing our work.
Thanks to you, we can offer live asthma education shows, provide action plans and other essential patient resources, as well as train healthcare practitioners in best practice guidelines.
The impact you'll have
Respiratory conditions like asthma, COPD and sleep apnoea affect 1 million New Zealanders. Heart conditions, like atrial fibrillation and ischemic heart disease, kill 1 in 5 people.
Together, the heart and lungs are responsible for thousands of hospitalisations each year and cost New Zealand about $20 billion annually.
The Foundation wants to see those figures change.
We educate, advocate, support and research to improve the lives of Kiwis with respiratory and cardiac conditions.
Not sure what you want to do, or stuck for ideas? Here's a handy guide.
