London Marathon 2026

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

In 2026, I’ll be taking on the London Marathon, all 26.2 miles of it. This will be in memory of my dad, who sadly passed away from COPD when I was just 13 years old.


I’m proud to be running in support of Asthma + Lung UK, a charity that’s close to my heart. They work tirelessly to fund life-changing research and provide vital support for those living with lung conditions like asthma and COPD, conditions that affect millions across the UK.


Running a marathon is no small feat. But I’m determined to push through the miles, the training, and the challenges to honour my dad’s memory and help others breathe easier.


My goal is to raise £2,500 for this incredible cause. Every single donation, no matter how big or small, will help change lives.


If you’re able to support me, I’d be so grateful. Whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this page, it all makes a huge difference.


Let’s do this together — for my dad, for everyone living with lung disease, and for a future where breathing doesn’t come at a cost 💙


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!
