Great North Run 2026

Kelly May is running The Great North Run in the fight for breath!

So… I’ve shaved my head, I’ve jumped out of a plane… what’s next?!


I’m running the Great North Run 🏃‍♀️ (yes, really — me, the asthmatic!)

Every minute in the UK, someone is diagnosed with a lung condition. That’s why I’m taking on this challenge for Asthma + Lung UK — the only UK charity fighting for everyone’s right to breathe.


Just £24 can fund an hour of vital lung health research, helping support new scientists and bring us closer to a future where everyone has healthy lungs.


If you’re able to support me, even a small donation would mean so much. Let’s make a difference together 💜


Much love & Sparkles,

Kelly May 🩷
