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

This cause is so close to my heart, as I have lived with Asthma from the early age of 3. My late aunt (my mother's younger sister) who was also Asthmatic, took care of me and spent sleepless nights watching over me during my Asthmatic attack episodes. She also gave my mother guidance on how to manage my condition throughout my childhood. My wish is for everyone living with Asthma and any Lung condition to have the same guidance and support that I had. 

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.

Just £24 can support a researcher at the start of their career to carry out an hour of lung health research to ensure we attract and keep the best scientific minds to focus on lung disease.
