When Taj developed a bad cough and fever at just 12 months
of age, his mother expected it to pass like any other cold. But it
wasn't just any other cold — it was respiratory syncytial virus
(RSV). Nearly 100% of children will get RSV before the age of
two, and it can be deadly without urgent intervention.
Cases of RSV will surge in the months to come, putting children
like Taj at risk. That’s why ProTeam, a leading authority
on clean indoor air, has partnered with us to ensure access to
vital resources for people impacted by RSV by 2X MATCHING
gifts up to $50,000.
Help protect the lung health of people everywhere with DOUBLE the impact by donating today.

RSV strikes twice in 6 months

Taj received the care he needed to beat RSV thanks to his
mother’s determination and quick thinking. Unfortunately, that’s
not where the story ends. Just six months later, Taj would end
up in the hospital again with a second case of RSV.
It was during this stressful time that Taj’s mother found help —
and hope — from resources provided by the American Lung
Association. Coupled with a mother’s intuition, these resources
guided young Taj and his family on the journey back to good
health. Today, he’s a happy, healthy toddler once more.

Provide 2X more lifesaving help

Did you know RSV can be deadly for adults too?
Though most adults who become ill with RSV will experience
mild cold-like symptoms, some people — especially older adults
and those with chronic lung diseases — can become
so ill that they need to be hospitalized.
And each year in the United States, up to 10,000
older adults die of complications from RSV.
That’s why it’s vital that people everywhere, no matter their age,
have reliable access to lung health support. You can help
provide that support now by making a generous
2X MATCHED gift before October 30.
