Every Breath You Take - Help the British Lung foundation keep people breathing!

Hey Guys thank you for taking an interest in my blog. My names Eleasha and I am writing about the British Lung Foundation. After reading my blog I aim for you to know enough about my charity and donate and also change your opinions on the charity.
I would like to:

  • Raise Awareness, help you understand what Lung Cancer really is and what it can do.
  • Change Opinions; change your perspective of the British Lung Foundation so people can get the treatment they need.
  • Encourage donation; Raise the chances of you donating to the British Lung Foundation.
Approximately 8 years ago my Granddad was diagnosed with Lung Cancer; unfortunately he was unaware of his illness till a very late stage. After being extremely ill for numerous months he finally became well enough to move around again. After being inside for months on end he decided to treat himself to a holiday in Portugal where he unfortunately lost the battle to Lung Cancer. It was a struggle for the whole family but the British Lung Foundation was so helpful and supportive. In 2011 my auntie (the daughter of my granddad) ran the London marathon aiming to raise £2000 but raising over £4470.65. Here is a photo of her and a friend in the t-shirts donated by the British Lung Foundation for fundraising. 

Why should you care?

Many innocent lives are ruined due to Lung cancer and I don’t think that the British Lung Foundation is recognized enough for the huge amounts of effort they go to and try and be supportive and give as much help as they can. Most people have heard about the charity but I feel people really don’t understand what they do or think they have enough time to find out properly what they do. This is a horrible thought to have in your head but imagine if you were diagnosed it’s a very unpleasant though and that’s why you should care they feel that way.
