I’m running the London Marathon for Asthma + Lung UK because so many people close to me live every day with asthma or lung conditions, making even small things like changes in the weather just that little bit harder.

My mum lives with asthma and has been affected by long COVID since 2020, making everyday tasks more challenging. My dad’s wife, Cheryl, lives with COPD, a progressive lung condition which my Nan and Grandad also lived with COPD whilst my Grandad battled lung cancer. Charities like Asthma + Lung UK fund vital research and support that help ease symptoms and improve quality of life.

And now, my little nephew is undergoing investigations for asthma after many trips to hospitals , a reminder that lung conditions can affect anyone at any age, and how important early diagnosis and support are.

That’s why I’ve pledged to raise £2,500 for Asthma + Lung UK, supporting life-saving research, care, and understanding for people living with lung conditions.

If you’re able to donate, even a few pounds would mean the world. If not, a share goes a long way.

Let’s make every step count: for my family, my nephew, and the millions fighting to breathe easier every day.

Thank you 🧡🩷💜
