Thank you for helping us make a difference!
Breathing Matters funds research into pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis and other interstitial lung diseases and lung infections. We chose to stay a small charity to focus donations directly to our research, avoiding high overheads associated with larger charities. Each year, over 90% of your donations fund our research.
Begin by choosing your event and then set up your fundraising page from the Breathing Matters Justgiving home page. Check out our fundraising tips.
