I’m running The Great North Run in the fight for breath!
Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with lung disease. I want to make a difference. I'm running The Great North Run for Asthma + Lung UK, the only UK charity that fights for everyone’s right to breathe. Every pound I'm able to raise will take us a step closer to a world where everyone has healthy lungs.
My name is Lee and I’m a life long asthma sufferer. Last year (October) I decided to make a difference and take control of my life limiting condition and I started running.
It was suggested (!) that people were sponsoring me for a guaranteed asthma attack but they were wrong and in April this year, I finished my first ever half marathon in under 2 hours!
Running with asthma has motivated to me to stay healthy, maintain / improve fitness and raise awareness for asthma sufferers everywhere that we can fight and manage our asthma and do amazing things that so many people take for granted.
Just £24 could support a researcher at the start of their career to carry out an hour of lung health research to ensure we attract and keep the best scientific minds to focus on lung disease.
Any support would be amazing in my fight for lung health!
Thank you for your help and your generosity!
