I’m running the London Marathon 2026 in honour of my Mum to fight for lung health.
As many of you will already know, I sadly lost my beautiful Mum in April 2025 to Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Mum faced this debilitating condition with such grace and courage, despite needing 24/7 Oxygen and help with day to day tasks.
London Marathon 2026 falls on 26th April - EXACTLY a year to the day from her passing, and therefore a poignant way to honour her memory.
Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a lung condition. I want to make a difference. I'm running the London Marathon 2026 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.

24 Weeks out - Coopah Training Plan Begins
Thursday 13th Nov So far this year (and since I began running) I've purely ran on feel, going out when I want to, or entering events when I like the look of the medal (Tatton 10k on Saturday).
