Vitalograph team treks the Burren for Asthma Society of Ireland

A 30-strong team put on their walking boots to hike the Lough Avalla Farm Loop in the Burren in aid of the Asthma Society of Ireland recently.

Storm Agnes passed just in time for the Vitalograph team to tackle the 8km hike, which did not disappoint with stunning views at every turn. Each member of the team played a role in fundraising, while local coach company, C&C Executive Travel sponsored the coach. A grand total of €2500 has been raised for the charity.

“Asthma is so common in society that we often overlook how serious and how preventable it is. Both the hospitalisations and deaths are largely preventable. Vitalograph has supported the Asthma Society of Ireland for many years and our team is proud to be involved with the Take a Breath Challenge this year. We were lucky with the weather on the day. The company, views and conversations were all great.” said Vitalograph CEO, Frank Keane.

The charity has a special resonance with Vitalograph, whose respiratory diagnostic solutions, such as spirometers, help clinicians detect, diagnose and mange respiratory conditions like asthma. The story featured in all of the local papers: The Clare Echo, The Clare Herald and The Clare Champion. Vitalograph took first position in the fundraising leaderboard for the charity – a giant effort.

Congratulations and well done to all involved!
