I’m running the London Marathon 2025 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 2025 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!

My motivations
Sunday 9th Mar I started running in April 2024 after being inspired by watching the London Marathon. Running has completely changed my life, but when I missed out on the ballot I thought I’d be a spectator again. However on 5 March I was offered a charity place to run for Asthma + Lung UK!Thank you to my Sponsors
