I’m running the London Marathon 2027 to fight for lung health!

In April 2027, I’ll be taking on the London Marathon once again for Asthma + Lung UK.

I had the privilege of running for this incredible charity in 2026, and after crossing that finish line, I knew I wanted to do it all over again.

This cause is deeply personal to me. I’m running in memory of my dad, who sadly passed away from COPD at just 43 years old when I was only 13. Losing him at such a young age changed my life forever, and every mile I run is dedicated to his memory.

This year, I’ll also be running alongside my partner, Jake. As a child, Jake suffered from pneumonia and continues to live with asthma today. Together, we’ll be running to raise awareness and vital funds for everyone affected by lung conditions.

Asthma and lung diseases affect millions of people and their families every day. The work Asthma + Lung UK does through research, support, and advocacy is life-changing, and we’re proud to be fundraising for such an important cause.

Whether it’s £1 or £10, every donation makes a difference and will help support those living with lung conditions now and in the future.

For my Dad, for Jake, and everyone suffering with lung conditions around the world🫶🏽
