CHARITY RECIPIENT: ASTHMA NEW ZEALAND

Funds raised at The Pacific Series Charity Dinner will go towards the publication and launch of the "Family Guide to Asthma". The Family Guide to Asthma is a 48 page booklet giving an overview of the awareness, management and prevention of Asthma and related conditions for children of all ages, as well as adults and caregivers. Given that Asthma is the biggest health issue in New Zealand today with some 600,000 New Zealanders and 1 in 4 children affected, it is Asthma New Zealand’s intention to give a copy of the booklet to every New Zealand school child and thereby every family.
