I’m running the London Marathon 2025 in memory of my Mum.
As you are most likely aware, in December 2020 my Mum suddenly passed away from a pulmonary embolism, a condition that I had only learned that evening. A condition involving a blood clot forming in your leg, and blocking vital vessels in your lungs and heart. A condition that has devastated my family, as well as thousands of others. In 2021 alone, there were around 8800 approx deaths due to complications with pulmonary embolisms.
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!
This is extremely important to me, as a person who loves running, my Mum was always my biggest fan. My first ever half marathon, she got messages of encouragement and put them on the board and came down to see me finishing. I'll be running the entire 26.2 miles with her in mind.
Thank you ALL for your generosity, support and love.
