London Marathon 2025

I’m running the London Marathon in memory of my Grandad who fought long and hard against COPD

In April 2024, my family lost the most loving person any of us knew. He was the most selfless man who would do absolutely anything for anyone. I am the luckiest granddaughter to have had him as I grew up, but that time was cut short when we lost him to Cardiovascular Disease and COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). 
My grandad suffered 25 years of his life with COPD, but in align with his character, he never complained and never let it change the way he lived his life. He brightened up every room he walked in with his warm presence and his smile was enough to make anyones day better. Throughout my whole life, he never failed to show his support, from sports fixtures to helping 6 year old me with maths homework, grandad would be there. His compassion and love has had an everlasting impact on my family and I and it's now my turn to return the support and dedication he gave to me.
In am running the marathon in memory of him and to raise awareness to this disease that took him from us. 1.2 million people in the UK have diagnosed COPD and it is the third leading cause of death worldwide as there is currently no cure for COPD. I know he will be there with me cheering me on and will be proud of the challenge I am taking on in memory of him and to give back and help others. He always strived to make the world a better place however he could and it means the world to me knowing I am doing my part as he would've encouraged me to do♥️
