breathe
I’m running the Great North Run for Asthma + Lung UK because asthma has been a huge part of my life.
Growing up, I was in and out of hospital due to my asthma. When I was 15, I had a pretty scary attack and my lung function dropped to just 35%. I was then started on biologic treatment, which has genuinely changed my life.
I want to run to show how far I’ve come, while raising money for the research that makes life-changing treatments like this possible.
Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with lung disease. I want to make a difference. I'm running The Great North Run 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 could 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.
Any support would be amazing in my fight for lung health!
