I’m running the London Marathon 2026 to fight for lung health!
Anyone that knows me will know this is going to be an HUGE challenge for me. At the start of the year I couldn’t even run for a minute without stopping, I’ve worked really hard and can now run for over an hour, I just need to keep it up!
You might also know that I was diagnosed with asthma as a baby, I had several A&E trips, nebulisers and courses of steroids as a teenager, but thankfully my asthma is very well controlled as an adult, this is largely due to the advances in asthma care.
I’ll be updating my training progress on this page. If you are able to sponsor me, I would appreciate every single penny!
Asthma + Lung UK help fund vital research as well as offering help and support to those living with a lung condition.
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!
My Updates
12k!
Wednesday 13th Aug Slowly upping the distance every week. I’m finding the distance fine but keeping to a decent pace for a long distance is tough! I’m trying not to focus on pace too much as, for me, it takes the enjoyment out of it. It’s too easy to compare myself to experienced runners on social media and think that I am failing when I am still right at the start of my running ‘journey’. The pace will hopefully come in time but for now, increasing the kilometres each week is the plan!
First ever 10k done! ✅
