CORTECO, automotive spare parts specialist, is supporting Asthma UK’s brand new national fundraising week Putting Asthma in the Limelight by donating 10p (+ VAT) to the charity for every CORTECO micronAir cabin filter sold in April and May 2010.

In addition, many of CORTECO’s customer's are also matching this 10p donation for each air cabin filter sold, meaning even more funds for Asthma UK if you renew your car cabin air filter through them!

Car cabin air filters can help reduce substances such as pollen and diesel particulates which are triggers for some people with asthma.

Anne Breary, of Asthma UK’s Corporate Partnerships team, said: ‘This is a great initiative which will hopefully raise lots of funds for our Putting Asthma in the Limelight campaign aimed at helping over 1 million children in the UK with asthma’.

Steve Jarnet, CORTECO’s UK Marketing Manager, said: ‘CORTECO are very proud to be supporting Asthma UK and promoting the Putting Asthma in the Limelight campaign. Hopefully we will enable them to reach a whole new audience in the automotive aftermarket for the first time. The partnership also reinforces how important it is to change your cabin air filter on a regular basis to help prevent asthma triggers for some people such as pollen and diesel particulates entering the cabin of the car’.
