Earlier this year Dad was diagnosed with bronchiectasis, a long-term condition where the airways of the lungs become widened, leading to a build-up of excess mucus that can make the lungs more vulnerable to infection. Over the last 12 months he suffered from various infections which gradually caused irreparable damage to his lungs. Sadly he passed away in St James’ Hospital, Leeds on 7 September 2022.

Bronchiectasis is thought to be uncommon however it is estimated around 1 in every 100 adults in the UK have the condition. At present, lung condition research only receives 2% of public funding for health research. As a family, we would be grateful for any donations to Asthma + Lung UK to help drive forward much needed research and to provide help and support to sufferers and their families.

Thank you,

Anna, Emma, Anthony and Suzy
