I’m running the London Marathon 2026 in memory of my Dad, my hero, Brent Davies 💙
I'm running the London Marathon 2026 in honour of my dad, Brent, who we sadly lost to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) — a cruel lung disease with no known cause or cure.
He was diagnosed just 3 years ago, and although his condition deteriorated rapidly, he fought with unimaginable strength and courage every step of the way. Watching someone you love struggle to breathe is heartbreaking, and no family should have to go through what ours did.
I’m running for Asthma + Lung UK - a charity that funds vital research, campaigns for change, and supports families like mine who are facing the impact of lung disease.
This run is for my dad - for his bravery, for his amazing life, and for a future where fewer lives are cut short by conditions like IPF.
I’d be so grateful for any donation you can make, and I know he would be too. Thank you. 💙
Thank you to my Sponsors
