I’m running the London Marathon 2026 to fight for lung health!
I always told myself that my goal was to run the London Marathon before I turn 30! And luckily for me, after 5 years of trying, I was offered a place by Asthma and Lung UK, a charity so close to my heart!
Lung conditions have affected myself and my family in far more ways than I’d ever wish. I’ve had quite severe asthma my entire life - something which I have learnt to manage, but both my Grandads both unfortunately suffered with COPD/Emphysema for as long as I can recall, and it was the reason my Grandad David passed in 2018.
My lovely Nanna was also diagnosed with non smoking lung cancer in 2021, something which spread quickly and was aggressive.
I’m running the London Marathon to raise money for this wonderful charity who support so many families, just like mine, who are affected by lung conditions. The smallest donation can make the biggest difference and it’s easy to forget how much of a privilege it is to just BREATHE!
Please donate whatever you can, we would be so so grateful and every step towards the finish line is a step to making a difference in people’s lives.
Grandad Tony, Grandad David, Nanna Brenda & Dad - this one is for you 🩵🩷
Thank you 🫶🏼
