On Wednesday, May 8^th, 2019, Wayne and Rhonda Nelson will join others at the AAN’S Annual Capitol Hill Day. They will be heading to Washington D.C., to speak before members of Congress to bring awareness and change for people suffering from Asthma.  Rhonda Nelson suffers from a respiratory disease so this cause is near and dear to their hearts. A few of the issues they will focus on are access to care, affordable treatments and medications, allergy and asthma Federal Funding and health equity. Rhonda Nelson says:

“Awareness can only be made and change can only happen if we speak up and share our stories.  Our voices are powerful! Our voices need to be heard.  Our voices will be heard on May 8^th, 2019. Breathing is not optional.” Rhonda went on to say: “Back in 2002, out of nowhere, I developed what I thought was a cold. A cold that left me struggling to catch my breath”

Rhonda would eventually be diagnosed with AERD, a respiratory disease. Social media led Rhonda to the discovery of a group made up of people who have AERD. Their group aligned with the Allergy and Asthma Network whose mission is the end the needless death and suffering due to asthma, allergies and related conditions through outreach, education, advocacy and research. #AADCH2019
