London Marathon 2025

Donate to Alex and help them hit their goal of £2000!

Baby's First Marathon

Hi. I'm Alex, and I'll be running the 2025 London Marathon to raise money for Asthma and Lung UK in memory of my mum.

My mum (Susan Frances Atkins) was the most incredible person I've ever known. She had a lifetime full of adventures but sadly lost a very hard fight to lung cancer in 2022. I don't always have the words to describe her, but in short she was charming, clever, kind, and had friends across the world. I miss her every single day.

Please help me in my journey to raise £2000 to help fund research for conditions such as lung cancer, asthma, COPD, and many others; every little helps. I do have a couple incentives to get folks to donate, so keep an eye out for those. I’ll update this profile with my training journey as well as other thoughts. I’m excited; hope you are too!

Incentives!

Sunday 2nd Jun
To try to garner more donations I’m offering the following incentives:

- For £5 you can get a song on my running playlist! Do you have a song that really pumps you up? Do you have any meme songs that you want to ensure I listen to throughout my training? Maybe you want me to listen to “Never Gonna Give You Up” five times in a session. Let me know and I’ll add them to my playlist. For £20 you get five picks for the price of four. (Caveat: songs must be downloadable, I probably won’t be running with YouTube on in the background.)

- For £25 you can pick what book I read next! Maybe you have a book you’ve told me to read for years and I’ve said “I’ll get around to it” but haven’t. Maybe you have a favourite 150k word fanfiction you think I would dig. Maybe you want to force me to read a terrible book for fun. I’ll do it and report back to you. 

More incentives coming in the near future, so keep checking back here!

Thank you to my Sponsors
