After a spectacular fall a couple of weeks ago at mile 5 of a half marathon and having to pull out at mile 7, I am super happy to have completed this race today. It was hard work but happy with my time of 1:06:46.. puts me back on track 🦹‍♀️🦸‍♀️.. please scroll down for my story and why I’m running for Team Breath 💜

My Story - I have a genetic lung condition and COPD

Saturday 12th Jul
I am proud to be runnng the London Marathon 2026 in memory of my dad and brother, and raising funds for this amazing charity and the work they do. 

I have a genetic lung condition called Alpha-1 Anti Trypsin deficiency. This means that I do not produce enough of the necessary protein to protect my lungs from anything harmful in the atmosphere, which leads to irreparable damage. This means that breathing is something I have to think about. 

My dad died from this condition aged 54 when I was 11 years old, and although I do not have the condition to the severity that he did, my lungs are damaged and at the age of 50 I was told that I had the lungs of a 68 years old. My brother died of lung cancer when he was 58.

Support on the NHS in my experience is patchy and preventative care is not an option, with lung capacity and lung health tests now withdrawn and the annual check up is now a 4 question text message. 

Support for me has come from Asthma & Lung UK who work very hard to raise awareness and lobby the government for better support and treatment on the NHS for people with lung conditions. 

If you can, please sponsor me by donating, whatever you are able. I really appreciate your support. I will be posting regular updates here so that you can follow my journey. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
