A TEESSIDE MP got breathless to support the British Lung Foundation's 20th birthday campaign.
Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland MP Ashok Kumar got in a sweat on the exercise bike at the House of Commons during a lung health awareness day.
The Get Breathless! campaign encourages everyone of all ages and abilities to get breathless in aid of the British Lung Foundation, while thinking about their own lung health.
Mr Kumar said: "One person in every seven in the UK is affected by a lung disease and has to live with breathlessness all the time. It is vital that people look after their lungs and taking part in this campaign is a great way to start."
