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

I come from a family full of asthmatics. I have asthma. My sons have asthma. My mum has asthma, my brother too. I grew up with my younger brother regularly having stays in hospital. I have seen with my sons how a relatively mild virus can suddenly exacerbate asthma symptoms resulting in an asthma attack, low oxygen levels and things getting pretty scary. I’m fortunate my asthma is relatively mild but if an attack comes it can be terrifying.

It’s not just my family either. Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a lung condition. I want to make a difference. I'm running the London Marathon 2027 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.

Any support would be amazing in my fight for lung health!
