It ain't easy being wheezy, so I’m running the London Marathon 2027 to raise money for Asthma + Lung UK!

As a fellow asthmatic who turns 35 the day before London Marathon 2027 I thought "what better way to spend my first day as 35 year old than running 26.2 miles through my favourite city".

So here I go! 

To ensure I don't chicken out I will be raising money for an incredible charity - Asthma + Lung UK. As someone with Asthma, I couldn't think of a better suited charity to help make a difference for. Plus, if you're donating for me to do this I can't back out so there's your extra motivation!

Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a lung condition. I want to make a difference. I'm running the London Marathon 2027 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.

This won't be easy, I'll almost certainly be weezy, but I cannot wait!
