"The preventative care that I have received for my allergies and asthma has allowed me to lead a normal lifestyle…If my asthma doesn't stop me from competing in a very demanding sport, I can do anything that I set my mind to."
- Caitlyn, 13 years oldAllergy, Asthma & Immunology Education and Research Trust (ART)
With your help, the ART will discover new knowledge and a better understanding of these diseases through the support of pivotal, ground-breaking research.
Only .46 % of the total NIH budget is spent on research to find better treatments and cures, yet asthma alone costs our country $4.6 billion in lost productivity each year; Allergic reactions cost an additional $250 million.
What triggers an allergic response? How can we predict who is at risk? What can we do to prevent allergic reactions before they happen?
The answer: Research. The more we know, the better job we can do with our patients.
