Golf Day

Thursday 1st Jan PSA Golf Day 🏌️‍♂️. Today was a huge part of my fundraising for @asthmaandlunguk for my London Marathon 2026 place. An incredible day was had by all and none of it would have been possible without my amazing husband and his wonderful friends who helped sort scores, invited friends and organised cheat shots. As always the minis were involved, A auctioned himself off to caddy and J handed out the trophies. I’m beyond grateful to everyone who played today and generously donated to this wonderful charity, thank you so much. Huge congratulations to our winners today. Share

Running the London Marathon for Asthma + Lung UK

Saturday 8th Nov

I’m incredibly proud to be running the London Marathon 2026 for Asthma + Lung UK.

At the age of five, I was diagnosed as a chronic asthmatic. Growing up, I had countless hospital stays, ambulance callouts from school trips, nights out, and even once from a film set I was working on. My worst attack left me on life support so my body could rest and recover, a truly terrifying experience for me and my family.

A week after returning from our honeymoon, I was hospitalised again following a severe asthma attack. During that stay, I met an incredible consultant who completely transformed my treatment plan. That moment changed my life. Over the next six years, I experienced only mild attacks something I hadn’t thought possible and I finally rediscovered my joy for exercise.

When I fell pregnant with my daughter, Juliet, my asthma began to worsen during the early stages. I went to my GP for advice, but was told that the inhalers I was using could be harmful to the baby and was advised to stop them. The following two weeks were horrendous I struggled to breathe and ended up in hospital repeatedly.

In desperation, I called Asthma + Lung UK for help and advice. The woman on the phone was incredibly kind and patient as I tried to explain my situation between gasps for breath. Within an hour, she’d consulted with their medical team and called me back with a full treatment plan, which was immediately sent to my doctors.

That call quite literally saved our lives. Without the correct medication, neither Juliet nor I would be here today and I will be forever grateful to Asthma + Lung UK for their advocacy, care, and expertise.

After Juliet was born, during the Covid lockdowns, I turned to running. At first, I could barely manage ten minutes without struggling, but I stuck with it. Now I’ve completed ten half marathons and am training for my first full marathon. My lung health has never been better a combination of the right medication and the strength that running has given my breathing muscles.

Without the Asthma + Lung UK research team, I wouldn’t have access to the medication that keeps me healthy, or the life-saving advice that kept my daughter and me safe. Running this marathon is my way of saying thank you and helping others breathe a little easier too.
