I’m running the London Marathon 2026 to fight for lung health!
Thank you for visiting my page!
I have has asthma for most of my life and have had to rely on the use of medications & sprays since being a small child.
I remember not being able to join in with my friends while I waited for the medication to start working & stop wheezing.
These days, thanks to the advancements in medicine & charities like ALUK, my asthma for most of the time, is well controlled.
This will by no means be an easy challenge for me. I've had a bout of pneumonia which has left scarring on one lung & in October I broke my foot!
I am running for Asthma & Lung UK, charity close to my heart, to raise both awareness & funds for everyone who has a lung condition and the right to breathe.
Living with asthma has never stopped me from running, but more & more it has taught me to pace myself & never take a good breath for granted. Every mile running is a reminder of how the right support, research & treatment really are.
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!
