London Marathon 2025

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.

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!

London Marathon 2025

Monday 2nd Dec

In loving memory of Dad.

Anthony David Richardson 

Dad loved life and lived life to the full before being diagnosed with a lung disease (pulmonary fibrosis).

Dad lived with the disease for a couple of years (watching him deteriorate and suffer was heartbreaking).

Sadly Dad passed away on 26th August 2023.

I still find this hard to comprehend I can't believe Dad has gone forever. 

Every day I talk to your photo and give you the thumbs up (first thing in the morning and last thing at night). 

The strength I need to get me through the grief.

Dad I know you will keep me strong throughout the 26.2 miles.

Dad I will make you proud and hit my fundraising target.

Our Hero gone but never forgotten ❤️💔
