London Marathon 2026

I’m running the London Marathon 2026 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 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!

London Marathon 2026

Saturday 20th Sep
I’m running the London Marathon as part of Team Breathe, honouring my incredible dad’s legacy and also raising awareness for Asthma & Lung UK.

Earlier this year, we unexpectedly lost my dad. My dad was always my biggest supporter and made life brighter by just being himself, even with his repetitive dad jokes. But beyond the jokes and laughter, my dad had a heart that was as big as his sense of humour, he truly cared for those around him and would brighten up anyone’s day. 

Lung conditions are the third most common cause of death. Every step I take on that marathon route is for him. Lets make every breath count.

I’d be incredible grateful for your support. Your donations will go to Lung and Asthma UK, helping them fund research, provide support for families, and raise awareness for life changing illnesses.

I’ll carry his humour and kindness with me, always. Forever Daddy’s little girl.
