May is National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month.
Each year, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) declares May to be "National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month." It's a peak
season for asthma and allergy sufferers, and a perfect time to educate your patients, family, friends, co-workers and others about these diseases.
May is a great time to help raise awareness and funds for asthma and allergic diseases. To get involved this May, start raising funds and awareness
