Great North Run

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 £22 could go towards Health Care Advisors and Respiratory Specialists supporting someone with the information they need to live well.


Any support would be amazing in my fight for lung health!

in loving memory of my mam

Monday 9th Jun
This year, I’ll be participating in the Great North Run in loving memory of my wonderful mam, who bravely battled Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and sadly passed away on December 16th, 2024. While I’ve ran this event many times before, this year will undoubtedly be the most emotional.

COPD is a devastating illness that affects millions of lives, and my mam's journey has deeply touched my heart and my family's. I want to ensure that her struggle is not in vain. Through my run, I hope to raise funds for critical research that seeks to improve treatments and ultimately find a cure, so that no one else has to endure what my mam went through.

My Goal:
I am aiming to raise £350, and every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference in the fight against this terrible disease.

👉 Please consider donating to support this cause: 
Your generosity will help fund research, increase awareness, and provide vital resources to those affected by COPD.

Join Me on This Journey:
I will be sharing updates on my training and the progress of our fundraising efforts. Together, we can honor my mam's memory and work towards a future where COPD is better understood and effectively treated.

Thank you for your support and encouragement during this journey. Your kindness means the world to me. 💙
