PJ Day – Funding Asthma Research

[/fusion_title][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]PJ Day is on again for 2019, so join in the fun. Lock in a date today, to host your PJ Day this Winter!

PJ Day is Asthma Australia’s biggest national community fundraiser and raises essential funding for research and programs to help people with asthma. Your support may one day save a life!

It was started in 2009 by Montanna, a young girl who was living with asthma and spent a lot of time in hospital and in her PJs. She had the idea of getting others at school to stay in their PJs too as a way to raise funds for asthma research. Montanna came to us at Asthma Australia with her idea in the hope of one day finding a cure and now we are celebrating our tenth year of PJ Day.

Register now to host an event this Winter. It’s easy, it’s simple and remember your fundraising will go towards crucial asthma research and programs.[/fusion_text][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””]

PJ Day events can take place anywhere in Australia, on any day between 1 June – 31 August. For information about running a PJ Day event: www.asthmaaustralia.org.au/pjday

It’s a good idea to let people know in advance and then remind them a bit nearer the time too.

Making sure everyone knows about your PJ Day will increase the amount of funds you can raise and help you to plan. You can send invites via email, newsletters, or social media.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_3″ layout=”1_3″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” link=”” target=”_self” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_image_id=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” hover_type=”none” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_title hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” content_align=”left” size=”2″ font_size=”” line_height=”” letter_spacing=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” text_color=”” style_type=”default” sep_color=””]

What is Asthma: Asthma & Children

Asthma involves chronic (long term) inflammatory disorder of the airways; breathlessness, wheezing, coughing and tightness in the chest are associated with this condition.

The airways become narrow which disrupts and obstructs airflow. This narrowing can be reversed either spontaneously or with treatment.

The narrowing of the airways caused by:
– Swelling of the inside lining of the airways
– Increased mucus production combined with inflammation
– Tightening of the muscle around the airways.

Asthma is a long-term lung condition that can be controlled but cannot be cured. Children with asthma have sensitive airways in their lungs which react to triggers causing a flare up, also known as an asthma attack. Symptoms vary from child to child but typically include breathlessness, tight feeling in chest, wheezing or coughing. These symptoms usually occur at night, early in the morning or during/just after physical exertion.

If you have any concerns about your child and exercise please get in touch with an Accredited Exercise Physiologist who can develop a suitable exercise program.

Asthma First Aid

Asthma first aid is your patients go-to tool for an asthma emergency. It covers both first aid in the event of an asthma emergency plus the ability to review each of the four first aid steps.

The app is perfect for family, friends, school, childcare, sport and recreation and allows you to:
• follow the asthma first aid steps live in ATTACK mode
• learn the asthma first aid steps in TRAINING REVIEW mode
• review the asthma first aid steps, using a sample of scenarios, in TRAINING SCENARIO mode

Patients can download it for FREE from Apple iTunes or Google Play
