Running for my mum
I am so happy that I have a place in the London marathon.
unfortunately I lost my mum to COPD, this happened rather suddenly. My world shattered and not a day goes by when I don't think of her.
This will be my first marathon, and to be honest, Thave never ran anything further than 5KM before. It's going to be tough, but raising money for a charity that is so close to my heart and can help families not have to go through what I did is worth every step.
Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a lung condition. I want to make a difference. I'm running the London Marathon 2025 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.
Just £22 allows one of Asthma + Lung UK's nurses to answer a call on the Helpline, offering potentially lifesaving advice. I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make!
My mum passed away in 2017 from COPD. This charity was amazing and helped us through some difficult times.

10k run
Thursday 20th Mar After being ill for the past two days today I was finally feeling better so started off slow on a 10k run. Running in this heat is something different, finished my run of by doing the splits in the mid 😂. My new trainers are now covered in mud 😂 Share
16 miles
Friday 14th Feb For the first time in my life I have managed to run a solid 16 miles. I’m so pleased with myself. I would like to thank everyone for there support and I know I will get through this with my two guardian angels beside me. In 2017 my world came crashing down my mum passed away from cops she was my world. In November 2024 my nan passed away she was my rock after my mum passed and I know they are going to be with me every step of the way. ShareThank you to my Sponsors
