Very straightforward and simple to vote so 🤞🤞🤞🤞, hopefully if we win it will make this charity better known, respected and recognised. I'm pretty sure many members using the forum & helpline don't realise that it's run by a charity. P

I'm regretting voting for ALUK now I've read about the CEO of it standing up for getting rid of MDI s! Grrrr has s/he ever tried a breath activated inhaler when s/he cannot breathe during emergencies and desperate need of relief.

Should I vote for a charity which is promoting the abolition of Ventolin and other aerosol inhalers, which so many of its members rely on?

That's very good news. Yay! Good luck for a win.

Go well

Good luck. You are a valuable resource to all of us with a lung condition and we certainly need more funded research.
