London Marathon 2025

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!

Hello 🥰

Thursday 7th Nov
This may (does) sounds a little bit crazy but I’m running the London Marathon 2025 😬 I’m not a runner, although, I have always been fairly sporty until children and (family) life took priority. 
I’ve wanted to get into running to get active again, to help my mental health and to have a focus. Signing up to do the London Marathon means I can push myself, be accountable and raise money for my chosen charity - Asthma and Lung UK. Many of you will know that we have immediate family with asthma and lung conditions, just like many of you will too. I just hope I make it to the day itself - let alone across the finish line 🤣 
Please donate if you can and share this fundraising link/page. Your support will make a huge difference and help loads. Thank you for reading. Ruth xxx
