2012 The Year for Exercise, Sport and Fitness
Given that 2012 will see a variety of major sporting events (the Olympics, the European Cup, Six Nations Rugby, Marathons etc.) the Asthma Society of Ireland is preparing to launch a National Awareness and Fundraising Campaign that will focus on exercise, sport and fitness.
As part of this campaign we are calling on people with asthma, their familes and members of the public to organise sporting themed fundraising events throughout the country during the year.
Please contact the society and we will assist you in organising your event and provide you with an information pack with tips for controlling your asthma when exercising. More information on how to control your asthma while exercising is found here
To speak to an asthma nurse about how to control your asthma while exericising call the Asthma Helpline on 1850 44 54 64, Monday to Friday from 10am to 1pm.
We are also calling on schools to "Be a Sport" and dedicate a collection to the Asthma Society of Ireland during their annual sports day.
