I’m running the London Marathon 2027 to fight for lung health!

I’m running the London Marathon for Asthma + Lung UK because this cause is very close to my heart.

Growing up, I saw firsthand the impact that asthma can have on someone’s life through my nan. She suffered with asthma for as long as I can remember and spent many periods in hospital because of it. Seeing her struggle to breathe and witnessing the effect it had on her everyday life made me realise just how serious lung conditions can be.

Running this marathon is my way of honouring her and helping to support others living with asthma and lung conditions. Every mile I run will be in memory of her and for the millions of people who continue to face these challenges every day.

Any support or donation, no matter how small, will help Asthma + Lung UK continue their vital work supporting people affected by lung conditions and funding life-changing research. Thank you for helping me make a difference.
