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.
Your donations will help Asthma + Lung UK's nurses to answer calls on the Helpline, offering potentially lifesaving advice. I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make!

Friday 12th JulHi everyone
📣So I have some epic news 📣……
which will be quite a surprise to many ……I am running the TCS London Marathon 2025 and will be raising money for Asthma + Lung UK as part of Team Breathe.
You all know the London Marathon is a challenge but those close to me will know that although I love running I have always found it really tough, my breathing holds me back and I see very little progress despite training! I’m currently having some tests and investigation to try to get to the bottom of the issues.
The past few months my breathing has been a lot worse and I’ve not been able to run at all, in fact I cant even get up my stairs! This has been really frustrating…. And quite frankly I don’t know if I will ever be able to run….but what I do know is I can walk…. And although that’s tough right now, I know with some training I will be able to complete the marathon…. .
Holly was diagnosed with asthma in 2020 and as a parent it’s scary when you see your child struggling to breathe. I feel for Holly and everyone else struggling to breathe right now and really empathise with how debilitating this can be. I try to be the absolute best role model for Holly. I want her to know anything is possible, never let anything or anyone hold you back and to appreciate the value of giving back to others and what better way than committing to a marathon and raising money for a charity that is fighting to make peoples life’s, like ours, better.
My training will be long and very very slow so I’m going to need your support to keep me going over the next 9-months…::
⭐️Any words of encouragement will be greatly received.
⭐️Any offers of company for some walks and maybe nearer the time some slow runs, would be amazing!
⭐️if you see me out on the street please cheer me on (maybe even donate🤷♀️) and feel free to feed me sweets!
⭐️and off course any donations will definitely keep me motivate.
I’m Not sure what the marathon will look like for me yet ….: but whether I walk or run it I WILL cross the line!
This year I’ve conquered a 5k and I’ve become a park run addict…:: next year it’s the marathon Baby!
Yes I know I’m mad but I do love a challenge! .
Now for your call to action!!!!!
