Fundraising

Can you encourage your class or school to hold a fundraising event or activity for

Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation?

Here’s a few ideas to get you started. Any money raised will help the charity fund lung cancer research and support people living with lung cancer.

Non-uniform day Let the pupils and staff come to school in their own clothes and each person pays £1.

Cake Bake day Hold a cake sale and sell some home-baked treats to staff and pupils.

Take on the playground challengeOrganise a physical activity all the children can take part in. Perhaps a walk, hop, skip or jump around the playground that they can be sponsored to take part.

School silenceCan you get sponsored to not talk for a whole hour? See if your whole school can stay silent for an hour and raise money through sponsorship.

School DiscoAdd a charity angle to your

end of term school disco. Charge pupils a small entry fee with the money raised

being donated to charity.

Chance2DanceWe have a Chance2Dance pack to help you raise money while giving the pupils a chance to dance. You can request a pack by visiting

www.roycastle.org/chance2dance or by calling 0333 323 7200.

Factsheet

You are born with two lungs; each lung is divided into smaller sections called lobes - three on the right and two on the left. The inside of your lungs are like a huge sponge.

Every part of your body needs oxygen to function. When you breathe in, fresh air brings new oxygen into your body and when you breathe out, “used” breath is removed.

As you breathe air in, you use the muscles of your ribcage and especially the major muscle called the diaphragm to pull air into your lungs.

Your diaphragm is dome shaped and lies below your lungs towards the bottom of your rib cage. It separates the chest from the stomach area.

Each time you breathe in, the air flows into your nose or mouth down through your

Trachea (windpipe)

Bronchi

Bronchiole

Diaphragm

Alveoli


Factsheet and activity

throat and into your windpipe (trachea). The trachea divides into two smallerpassages called the left and right bronchi.

Like branches, the bronchi divide again and again, branching into much smaller tubes (bronchioles), which take the air

to millions of tiny air sacs called alveoli, and into the blood.

This oxygenated blood is then carried from your lungs to the heart, which pumps the blood throughout the body.

ActivityPut one hand on your chest and the other on the upper part of your tummy.

Now breathe in deeply.

You will feel your chest and your tummy get bigger as the air goes into your lungs.

When the diaphragm contracts (gets tighter) it pushes some of the organs in your tummy down so that there is more space in your chest.
