I’m running the London Marathon 2025 to fight for lung health!
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.
In March 2020, I was seriously unwell with Covid. This left me with long Covid and permanent damage to my lungs (pulmonary fibrosis).
I went from being healthy and active to not being able to walk ten steps without pain and getting out of breath. My lungs felt like they were being grated with every breath I took. I completed an 8-week Covid rehab program, where I had to learn how to breathe effectively.
More recently, a chest infection caused my airways to close up, leaving me gasping for breath. This terrifying experience was a stark reminder of how vulnerable our lungs are. Even simple things like scented sprays became triggers for my lungs.
I'm determined to run the London Marathon 2025 and raise much-needed money and awareness for Asthma + Lung UK.
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!
