Would you like to help people living with pulmonary fibrosis by walking 11,000 steps a day?
Sign up for this year’s #Breathtember challenge?!
Steptember for #Breathtember
September is Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month – we call it #Breathtember. Thanks to you, Breathing Matters is now in its 11th year.
We are calling for our supporters, friends and families to walk 11,000 steps a day and raise money and awareness for pulmonary fibrosis during the whole month of September – anywhere and anytime you choose. 11,000 steps a day reflects 11 years of Breathing Matters’ support for the pulmonary fibrosis community.
Make every #Breathtember step count:
- Step up your fitness – Help work off that summer ice-cream and cocktail weight. A 2019 study in JAMA Internal Medicine found that women who took 4,400 steps per day had lower mortality rates than women who took 2,700 steps per day.
- Step up your fundraising – Set up a Justgiving Page from our home page. Collect donations from your family and friends to help motivate you further in your Steptember for #Breathtember challenge. Read our fundraising tips to give you handy hints.
- Step up awareness – TWEET about your challenge using the hashtag #Breathtember to raise much needed awareness of this little known yet fatal disease. Visit our online shop and BUY one of our t-shirts, hoodies or water bottles to help spread the word.
Every supporter will get a medal on completing the Steptember for #Breathtember challenge. It’s only £15 to register and any supporter who raises more than £50 for pulmonary fibrosis will be entered into a prize draw!
