I’m running the London Marathon in the fight for breath

🏃‍♂️ I'm running the London Marathon 2026 in memory of my pappy Frank, who sadly passed away in 2023 due to a combination of lung conditions. He was kind, strong, and faced his illness courageously and with a good amount of humour. This run is to honour his memory and for everyone who knows the pain of watching someone they love struggle to breathe.

Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a lung condition. I want to make a difference. I'm running the London Marathon 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 £24 can support a researcher at the start of their career to carry out an hour of lung health research to ensure we attract and keep the best scientific minds to focus on lung disease.
