London Marathon 2026

Donate to Ed and help them hit their goal of £700!

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

I'm running the London Marathon for Asthma + Lung UK because this fight is personal. I’ve lived with asthma my whole life, as have all my brothers and sister. Some outgrew it, but not me. With the help of inhalers and medication, my asthma is well controlled, and now I'm taking on the biggest physical challenge of my life to raise awareness and vital funds.

Six months ago, I was 95kg and struggling to complete a 5K. Now I’m 91kg and just hit a personal best in a 10-mile run. It hasn’t been easy, I’m still working through neck and shoulder injuries, and the thought of 26.2 miles is honestly daunting. But every donation I receive gives me more drive to keep going.

I’ve never run a marathon before, but I’m determined to cross that finish line for everyone who battles to breathe every day. Please help me support this incredible cause and make every mile count.
