A summer’s walk in Buckingham to raise funds for Asthma + Lung UK

Vitalograph is celebrating 21 years of Empowering Respiratory Research through Clinical trials. To mark this special occasion, a large group of walkers from the UK office participated in a fun team fundraising walk around 21 landmarks in Buckingham, all with the aim of raising awareness and funds for Asthma + Lung UK. In the evening the celebrations continued with a team BBQ and raffle to raise additional funds for Asthma + Lung UK. Why we are supporting Asthma and Lung UK? In the UK, respiratory care isn’t good enough.

• Even before Covid-19, NHS hospital admissions for lung conditions were rising three times faster than average admissions.
• Lung disease is now the third most common cause of death, costing the NHS more than £9 billion every year. So this issue needs to be at the top of the health agenda.
• People living with lung conditions are often overlooked and being left behind. Their condition isn’t accurately diagnosed at an early stage – and even when they are diagnosed, they’re not given the care they need.

Who is Asthma + Lung UK? Asthma + Lung UK’s vision is for a world where everyone has healthy lungs. A world where lung health is prioritised through better understanding, research, treatment, and support. They are dedicated to helping create a world where good lung health and the ability to breathe freely are a basic right enjoyed by all.
