💜 Why I'm Running the London Marathon for Asthma + Lung UK
I was diagnosed with asthma as a child, and growing up, I was definitely not the sporty one! I struggle up a steep flight of stairs so i'm unsure what has possessed me to run a marathon - but here we are!
I'm so excited that in April 2026, I’ll be running the London Marathon for Asthma + Lung UK, the UK charity fighting for everyone’s right to breathe!
I wouldn’t even be able to run without the work this charity does. I need my inhaler on every single run, and it’s easy to forget how vital that little blue device is, or how many people don’t have the same access, support, or resources!
Just £22 can fund a call to their Helpline, where trained nurses give potentially lifesaving advice. Every pound raised will help someone like me keep breathing through the tough moments - whether that’s running a marathon, climbing stairs, or simply getting through the day.
If you’re able to donate, thank you so much. And if not, a share goes a long way too. 💜

Last Long Run In The Bag!!
Monday 13th Apr
So today was really about finishing strong and gaining a little confidence back and it certainly did that!! Made a few swaps on fueling and a new pair of shoes (rogue this late in the game i know) and actually felt okay?!
2 weeks to go - now we rest and eat all the pasta!!!!
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far - it means a lot. I'd love to get past the 1k mark this week pre race day, lets do it!!! Share
