world aspergillosis day
1st february
You’re going to breathe in Aspergillus spores.
For 1 in 300 of us these spores cause the fungal infection: Aspergillosis.
The small but mighty Aspergillosis Trust is a patient advocacy charity raising awareness and support for this rare, debilitating and sometimes deadly infection. Aspergillosis can attack people of any age, but too often medical professionals fail to #ThinkFungus and it goes widely undiagnosed.
One of the first, and smallest, charities we’ve worked with, The Aspergillosis Trust was created by patients to improve awareness of the disease and raise money for research, whilst also ensuring patients have easily accessible medical information and support.
Through the years, we’ve helped them create important patient leaflets that give details about different types of medication, create campaign videos that supporters can share and engage media so that World Aspergillosis Day gets the recognition it deserves every 1st February.
