I’m running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in the fight for breath!
In 2020, my younger sister Evie suffered a sudden, severe asthma attack that landed her in intensive care – this attack was life threatening and made her extremely poorly.
Because of the pandemic, she had to face it alone in hospital at only 18 years old, which was incredibly tough for us all. It was a frightening time – we didn’t know what was happening or how serious it was until we saw her on FaceTime, surrounded by machines and tubes. Despite everything, she stayed calm and strong and I’ve never been prouder to be her big sister.
I’m running this half marathon for Asthma + Lung UK to raise awareness that asthma can be so much more serious than people often realise. Evie’s attack came out of nowhere – we thought she just had a chest infection. Since then, we’ve learned how to spot the early signs of an asthma attack, which could make all the difference in the future.
Every donation – big or small – helps this amazing charity continue their vital work. Thank you so much for your support! 💜🧡
My Updates
I did it!!!!
Monday 13th Oct The half marathon is officially over and complete.
Longest Run of the Training Completed
Wednesday 1st Oct Just ran 16km, which is the longest run in my training block before the half!
10k PB
Sunday 14th Sep Training has paid off as I managed to get a 10k PB today 🥳 ran almost the whole 10km without needing many walking breaks at all - Garmin says 1 hour 15 running and only 6 mins of walking which includes the funnel at the start and end of the race - pleased with that!
Training
Thursday 31st Jul Training has officially started for the half marathon, considering this is my 2nd one I now have a time to beat so training is especially important - this means even going for a run whilst on my holidays in Italy! 😅 ShareThank you to my Sponsors
