🚶♀️ Get out of breath, get noticed
This September, join in with our #Breathtember campaign during Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month to raise awareness of pulmonary fibrosis, a lung condition that makes every breath a challenge.
To show solidarity with those living with pulmonary fibrosis, we invite you to do something that gets you out of breath—and share it with the world.
🎯 Your mission
Pick your challenge. Get out of breath. Post it on social media with the hashtag #Breathtember.
Think bold, think playful, think personal. Whether it’s climbing a mountain or blowing bubbles, the goal is to get people talking—and breathing.
💡 Challenge ideas
Here are a few ways to take part:
🏃♂️ Run or walk a 5K, maybe in a costume
🚴 Cycle your local park loop
🎶 Sing or dance until you are breathless
⚪ Blow bubbles
🧘♀️ Hold your breath post-yoga and share your zen moment
📷 Film yourself walking up all your stairs—no lift!
🪂 Skydiving? We love your energy!
The more unusual, fun or powerful, the more awareness we create.
