Running for Mum- A journey of Love & Hope
Hi, my name is Dimple,
I write this with emptiness, as I prepare to run the London Marathon, my heart is heavy yet hopeful. Last year, I lost my beloved mum to a sudden battle with lung disease and asthma. At just 64, her passing was a shock that shattered our family. She was like my best friend, not a single day went past where I did not speak to her! I can’t believe it will be a year since losing her. Despite the pain, I want to channel my grief into something positive, raising funds to support others fighting similar battles. I have felt this has helped me to move forward and I would ask you for your support to help me through this difficult time!
My mum was more than just a parent; she was a source of inspiration, love, and resilience. Watching her struggle with her illnesses was heartbreaking, and I often felt helpless. Now, I realise that while I couldn’t save her, I can honour her memory by helping others.
Every mile I run will symbolise my love for her and my commitment to fighting lung disease. With your support, we can contribute to vital research and care for those affected, ensuring that fewer families have to endure the same heartache.
I’m asking for your help. Any donation, big or small, will make a difference. Together, we can help improve lives and offer hope to those who need it most. Thank you for standing with me as I run for my mum, and for all the mothers, fathers, and loved ones facing these challenges.
Let’s make a difference together.
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.
I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make!
Thank you
Dimple

My Dimply, I am so unbelievably proud of you, watching you take on this marathon and all the work you have put in this past year is truly inspirational. Tomorrow you will be running with all your heart for Mum, you honestly fill me with so much love and admiration I can’t even put it properly into words. You carry her spirit in everything you do, her strength, her kindness, her fierce love, her legacy, it all shines through you. And I know, without a single doubt, that if Mum were here, she would be standing at that finish line with the biggest smile, the proudest tears, and so much love in her heart for her Dimple. Dad too would be right beside her, bursting with pride. What you’re doing isn’t just about the miles or the race. It’s about love. It’s about remembering where we come from and honouring the people who made us who we are. You’re carrying them with you every single step. I’m so, so proud of you. We all are. You’re amazing, I love you with all my heart, we’ll be with you every step of the way tomorrow. Love you so much, go out there and smash it!
