Royal Parks Half Marathon

This October, I’ll be lacing up my trainers and taking on the Royal Parks Half Marathon in London – 13.1 miles through some of the city’s most beautiful green spaces and iconic streets. But for me, this isn’t just about the run.

I’m running for Asthma + Lung UK, a charity that is incredibly close to my good friend’s heart. Sadly, he lost both his mum and dad to lung disease. Seeing the impact that lung conditions have had on his family has been deeply moving, and I wanted to do something to help make a difference.

Why Asthma + Lung UK?

Every breath matters. Asthma + Lung UK works tirelessly to support people living with lung disease, fund life-changing research, and campaign for cleaner air so that fewer families have to go through the pain of losing a loved one too soon. Their work offers hope – but it needs funding.

How you can help

Training is tough, the miles are long, and race day will push us – but the real challenge is raising as much as possible for this cause. If you can, please consider sponsoring me (or us if you’re part of our cheer squad!) so that together we can help Asthma + Lung UK continue their vital work.

Every pound you give will help fund research, support services, and advocacy to prevent lung disease from taking more lives.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support – it really does mean the world. Here’s to running for those who can’t, and to making every breath count
