'Balloon Day is a great campaign for raising the awareness of asthma and to dig into our pockets and help those who are as challenged as my whanau is....I encourage all New Zealanders to get behind the campaign.'

We advocate for New Zealanders affected by asthma and other respiratory illnesses. Our 24 affiliated asthma societies and branches offer one-on-one education and support free or at little cost.

A group of supreme achievers will gather in Wellington in November to be presented with awards by the Governor-General. Nominations close 31 August, 2009.
