Raising awareness can make a huge difference in donations towards much needed research into pulmonary fibrosis and lung infection.

September is #Breathtember – global pulmonary fibrosis awareness month.

Join our Get Out of Breath #Breathtember campaign each year and raise awareness at the same time through social media.

To help raise awareness, we ask that supporters tweet different challenges during September including the term ‘#Breathtember’ and ask their followers to retweet and share this information as widely as possible.

Think outside the box for your challenges -

 Getting out of breath for you could mean:

  • Cycling around your local park
  • Doing a virtual 5K/10K run or walk
  • Singing until you are out of breath
  • Walking over the wondrous London bridges
  • Blowing bubbles … or windmills!
  • Or just simply walking up the stairs!

#Breathtember

The important thing is that you tweet your challenge including the hashtag ‘#Breathtember’ to raise awareness of pulmonary fibrosis.  Add a photo if you like.  Each September, we want as many people as possible to get to know what Pulmonary Fibrosis really means.
