I’m running the London Marathon 2026 to fight for lung health!
I am deeply honoured to run the 2026 London Marathon in memory of my late Grandad who sadly passed away on the 20th April 2024. After a long battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, it led to heart and kidney failure. His resilience and courage to tackle his health challenges over the last 20-25 years have always inspired me. Every mile I run is dedicated to his memory and the hope that future generations can breathe easier.
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 £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.
