Celebrate your festive stars and fundraise for future ELF activities!

Each year we launch our festive fundraiser which raises funds for the year ahead and upcoming patient-led activities and resources. Together we can create spaces for patients to come together to share their views and get involved in projects that can help improve treatment and healthcare. JUST €1 can help us in this mission!

PLUS! With every donation, we give you the chance to help us spread some festive cheer and share a message or reflection from the past year.

Best wishes to ELF for their continuing good work on behalf of the respiratory patient community

 

 

I’m grateful to work with the ELF team and wider network and have enjoyed seeing the impact of their efforts over the year.

Our fantastic team of patients, volunteers, partners and office staff work hard throughout the year to make sure patients and the public have access to the latest knowledge and guidance on lung health. Thank you!

Here is to a wonderful 2025 full of support for good lung health!

Our team share research summaries and guidelines, translated into multiple languages and into an easy-to-read format. With every donation we can do more to ensure patients have access to up-to-date information about their condition.

This star is for precious baby Cyril and his parents, who will have only this one Christmas together. In 2025, let us raise more awareness for rare diseases, support patients, their families, and caretakers.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their story and experiences on the ELF channels this year. Your openness helps raise awareness and empowers others to take charge of their health. I am truly grateful for your contribution and continued to be inspired by your strength and passion every day!

Together we can create spaces for patients to come together to share their views and get involved in projects that can help improve treatment and healthcare.

Cheers to the New Year! Here’s to 2025 being a year of protecting lung health for people of all ages and working towards cleaner air for a healthier future.

We are learning how to engage with young audiences. Your support will help us produce short patient films and increase the number of patient experiences on our website and information pages.

You can use your star as you wish. You could celebrate a recent achievement, an incredible friend or patient who deserves some recognition or festive cheer. You could also use this space to remember a loved one. This choice is yours!

Thank you to all the patients and patient organisations that have contributed to everything we have achieved this year at ELF. Particular thanks to the amazing Core ELF Council: Helen parks, Zena and Ed Powell, Mikaela Odemyr, Oksana Kulish Skaara (and the lovely Uliana), Liam Galvin, Paola Pierucci and the wonderful Dimitris Kontopidis xx
