Emily Willis

London Marathon 2026

I’m running the London Marathon 2026 to fight for lung health!

I am raising money for Asthma and Lung UK as a family member of mine has a lung condition known as Bronchiectasis. He receives treatment at Birmingham Children’s Hospital and has ongoing Physiotherapy.

He perseveres with all his activities, always wanting to push through even when he doesn't feel well. I am participating in the London Marathon because I know it will be tough, but if he can keep going despite feeling unwell, I want to show him that I can complete the Marathon, no matter how much it hurts. He is fortunate to be very fit and active, which means his condition is classed as mild; unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky. By doing this I’m raising funds for Asthma + Lung UK. 

Having never run more than a half marathon distance, this will truly be a significant challenge for me.

Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a lung condition. 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!

Thank you, Emily x
