I’m running the London Marathon 2027 to fight for lung health!

I’m proud to be running the London Marathon 2027 with my Sister, Emily in support of Asthma + Lung UK.

My connection to this cause is deeply personal. I have family members living with bronchiectasis, and my daughter is a carrier of the cystic fibrosis gene. Since she was born, we’ve attended regular appointments at our local hospital’s respiratory clinic, giving our family a real appreciation of the incredible work carried out by healthcare professionals and charities that support people living with lung conditions.

These experiences have shown me just how important research, support services, and awareness are for families affected by respiratory illnesses. That’s why I’m taking on the challenge of running the London Marathon - to give something back and help Asthma + Lung UK continue the life-changing work they do.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help fund vital research, provide support to those living with lung conditions, and give hope to families facing these challenges.

Thank you so much for your support. Every contribution, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing my fundraising page, will help make a real difference.

Stall on the High Street

Monday 5th Oct
Izzy, Ivy, Darcy, Eleanor and Eliza started plotting a “stall on the high street” a few weeks ago on the playground. Yesterday, with a bit of help from siblings (pictured) and a lot of help from parents (mostly hungover and not pictured) they smashed their £50 goal. They raised £490 to go towards my £2,500 fundraising target. I’m so proud of them all. And incredibly grateful to the girls and their wonderfully generous parents. Special thanks to the other school friends who have helped harass the intoxicated this afternoon. “No cash? No problem. How much shall we put on our card machine?” 😂 Thank you also to our wonderful village community for turning out and to Next Door Bar for their support. Also a huge thank you to the grandparents who baked and knitted so we actually had stuff to sell. 💜🧡💜🧡

Wolves 10k 2027

Wednesday 9th Sep
Another one added to the calendar. I’ll be running the Wolves 10k on Sunday 7th February 2027 as part of my training for the London Marathon. It’ll be good to get another event under the belt as the mileage starts to build, while continuing to raise money for Asthma + Lung UK. Thanks as always to everyone who’s supported me so far.

Thanks to WSP

Wednesday 26th Aug
A massive thank you to everyone at the WSP in the UK & Ireland Mailbox office who bought one of the chocolate cornflake cakes today (lovingly made by my kids, who I’m fairly sure ate more chocolate than actually made it into the cakes). All the money raised is going towards my 2027 London Marathon fundraising for Asthma + Lung UK, and thanks to everyone’s generosity, I’ve now passed the £500 mark! I’m absolutely thrilled with the support so far. Every donation genuinely means a lot, and gets me another step closer to my fundraising target.

I’ve Roped in the Kids!👌🏼

Tuesday 25th Aug
The little piggies have been busy in the kitchen making cornflake cakes for me to sell at work tomorrow 💪🏼

New Date and New Fundraising Page

Monday 17th Aug

Hi everyone,

A quick update on my London Marathon fundraiser. My race date has now been changed to Sunday 25 April, 2027, which means I've had to set up a new fundraising page (this one).

The good news is that all previous donations have been transferred across, so your generosity has not been lost.

I'd like to say a huge thank you again for your support so far. It genuinely means a lot and is helping me raise money for Asthma + Lung UK.

Thanks again for all your support!

26.2 Miles... and Now 13,000 Feet!

Monday 17th Aug

Just a quick update on my fundraising journey for the 2027 London Marathon.

As part of the challenge, I'll now be jumping out of an aeroplane at 13,000 feet on 17th October 2026, as apparently running 26.2 miles wasn't enough!

Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps me get closer to my fundraising target and supports the incredible work Asthma + Lung UK does every day.

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far, shared the page, or offered words of encouragement.

Your support genuinely means a lot and will hopefully help carry me through both the jump in October and the marathon training that follows.

Thank you to my Sponsors
