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

I have chosen this charity as my husbands mum sally fell very poorly at the beginning of this year, I wanted to run for this charity for sally my mother in law. Thankfully with the amazing medical team she came out of hospital after the special care she had. I think we need to spread awareness with lung illnesses as I don’t think it’s talked about as much as it should.

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!
