Great North Run 2026

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

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!

Taking every breath for those who can’t!!!

Wednesday 8th Apr
I’m so excited (and a little nervous!) to announce that I’ll be taking on the Great North Run this year for Asthma + Lung UK. 🏃‍♂️💨
As someone living with asthma, I know firsthand how easy it is to take a clear breath for granted. At 56, I wanted to prove that having a lung condition doesn’t have to stay in the way of big goals. I’m running to raise money for the research and support that helps millions of us breathe a little easier.
If you’d like to support my journey (and keep me motivated through the training!), you can donate here: 
Every penny helps. Let’s do this! 👟✨
