I’m running The Great North Run in the fight for breath!

Not many people know that I have been suffering from Asthma for almost 30 years, it was initially brought on from cycling and running through the streets of London and then developed into ingestion induced Asthma, meaning that I have to be careful what I eat and drink, its a terrible condition to suffer from, please help me raise my target.

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!
