Welcome to the Marc Hutchison Asthma Trust (Shetland).

This charity was started as a result of a personal tragedy.  Marc died in May 2005 from an acute asthma attack, aged 21 years.  Read his Life Story.

Following Marc's untimely death we the committee found that there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding asthma and we wanted to raise awareness and improve the knowledge and understanding on asthma within Shetland. 

EVERY 7 HOURS SOMEONE DIES FROM AN ASTHMA ATTACK , YET 90% OF THESE DEATHS ARE PREVENTABLE!!
