Eva O’Connor

London Marathon 2026

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

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

On 8th March 2025 my wonderful Dad passed away due to one of these conditions- Pulmonary Fibrosis. There is yet no real treatment or cure.  Dad also had another condition called Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia which made it progressively more difficult for him to walk. I want to honour him by using my own lungs and legs, to push myself through the gruelling challenge of training for and running this marathon. 

I miss my wonderful Dad every single day but this is my ‘why’ and I know he would be so proud ❤️

 I'm running the London Marathon 2026 for Asthma + Lung UK. 

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!
