3 ways to celebrate
Share a Story
If you have been diagnosed with aspergillosis or cared for someone who has, share your experience online with #WorldAspergillosisDay. Your story can encourage people with lung disease to keep their doctor appointments and check-ups.
Learn, Then Teach
Take time to learn the facts about aspergillosis: its signs, risk factors, prevention, and treatments. Then pass what you learned to family and friends, because awareness spreads one conversation at a time.
Fund the Fight
Donate to an organization that funds aspergillosis research or supports patients and their families, or gather friends for a small fundraiser. Better diagnostics and treatments begin with funded science.
