Breathe Better September is the Foundation's annual campaign to raise funds and awareness to support New Zealanders with respiratory disease.

Every Kiwi knows someone with a breathing condition.

In fact, 1 in 6 of us has a respiratory illness like asthma or COPD.

It could be your child, your nana or your best mate. It could be you.

We all know someone, who at some time, struggles to breathe.

Our mission at the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ is to help the 700,000 New Zealanders with a respiratory condition to breathe easier.

Every year we run Breathe Better September to encourage Kiwis to improve their own lung health and to support our work for those who need it most.


Keep an eye out for our plans for 2023!
