I’m running the London Marathon 2025 to fight for lung health!

Hi, I'm Jonathan,

I remember the year the London Marathon first started and also thinking "I wish I could do that". Back then I didn't do any running at all. Well now, 44 years later, I'm going to do it! 

In a moment of madness I said to my school friend and fellow "a cappella" singer Anita "Shall we do it next year"? We signed up before we could change our minds and here we are! It's not going to be easy and we're both a little bit scared but we'll have each other for company and support all the way! 

My wife Catherine has been a long time sufferer of Asthma (and of me for that matter!). We spent many a time in hospitals waiting to be treated and now my daughter, Alice, is working for this amazing charity and supporting so many fundraisers (like me!) around the country!

So, please will you consider sponsoring me? Thank you so much for taking the time today to support me.

Some more about Asthma + Lung UK

-------------------------------------------

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!
