About the Adeola Ian Randolph Foundation (A.I.R Foundation) for Asthma
The Adeola Ian Randolph Foundation (A.I.R Foundation) for Asthma was set up in 2013 in memory of Adeola Ian Randolph who passed away on Tuesday 7th February 2012 after suffering a severe asthma attack in his home. He was a healthy, sporty 32 year old who had been living with Asthma for 16 years.
The Randolph family has set up the foundation to raise funds that would be geared towards creating awareness of the condition, fund research into Asthma, buy and donate life-saving equipment to institutions and individuals in need. They aim to become a channel of communication between Asthma sufferers in Nigeria and the Nigerian government and key healthcare professionals/decision makers to ensure that their plight is heard and quality of life is improved.

Mission
To raise enough funds towards;

  • Creating awareness of the condition
  • Educating “sufferers” on how to spot and manage the condition with relevant information and equipment
  • Providing an Asthma hotline that people can call when they require information or emergency advice on Asthma
  • Donating Inhalers, Nebulisers and other equipment to hospitals and patients in need
  • Working towards having specialist Asthma Clinics across the length and breadth of Nigeria
  • Creating mobile workshops that will travel around Nigeria, visiting schools and educating children on the condition, how to spot it and if you have it how to manage it.
  • Implementing a system where hospital spot-checks take place ensuring that asthma equipment is in place, working efficiently and managed round the clock by trained staff
  • Funding Research into Asthma in the hope of one day finding a cure
  • In the absence of proper emergency services in Nigeria, providing fully trained mobile paramedics who can attempt to treat sufferers on location during a crisis
