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. 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 £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!

New Year New Training

Sunday 22nd Feb
I’ve been keeping quiet on here this year while I still work with the physio and at the gym to solve my injury issues. 

The niggles are still there, there are nerves on every run but still with my wonderful and inspirational dad in my mind, I keep making steps towards getting to that start (and then finish line) on 26th April.

I am so grateful to the charity for giving me a second chance and to all of you who donated so generously. As I get closer to marathon date I will start sharing my journey more again. For now, I will continue to quietly train and pray the injuries stay manageable.

My next hurdle is the Chelmsford half marathon on 1st March. If anyone would like to sponsor me for that event you can also do so on this page. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
