I’m running the London Marathon 2025 to fight for lung health!

In 2021 I was diagnosed with severe asthma and bronchiectasis in both lungs. 

I was prescribed steroids every 3 weeks with constant asthma attacks and was admitted to hospital on a regular basis.

In March 2022, my husband had to call an ambulance due to me having a severe attack. This was a very close call, where I ended up in rhesus and a week long stay in hospital. 

Thankfully, this hospital stay resulted in me beginning a biological treatment, a monthly injection that stops my body from producing white blood cells. Since this, I have had no hospital admissions, no steroids and my two young children have not had to witness me being so poorly, and constantly being taken away in an ambulance, not knowing when I was going to return.

I am so grateful to Asthma and lung UK for giving me my life back and now it’s time to give something back! 

From struggling with a flight of stairs to running London Marathon 2025, let’s get it done! 

Please donate if you can, every penny counts! Thank you :) xxx

Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a lung condition. I want to make a difference. I'm running the London Marathon 2025 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 allows one of Asthma + Lung UK's nurses to answer a call on the Helpline, offering potentially lifesaving advice. I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make!
