I’m running the London Marathon 2025 to fight for lung health!
January 4th 2024, the day my mum passed away from the debilitating lung disorder COPD. I'd been her carer for 10 years and thanks to the amazing resources and advice available from Asthma + Lung UK, I know I was able to have more time with her than I perhaps would've without it.
With that in mind, I want to honour her memory and make a difference. Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a lung condition.
I'm running the London Marathon 2025 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.
Just £22 allows one of Asthma + Lung UK's nurses to answer a call on the Helpline, offering potentially lifesaving advice.
Having struggled with Asthma myself since childhood and witnessed the struggles my mum went through with COPD, I want to raise as much money as possible for this amazing cause and would be very grateful for any donations you could make.
Thank you to my Sponsors
