London Marathon 2025

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

On April 27th 2025 I am running the London Marathon!! After many years of entering the ballot and not being successful, I decided it was now or never so applied through a charity very close to mine and my family’s heart: Asthma + Lung UK and I was successful!

Our amazing mum Jackie was diagnosed with COPD many years ago and she has been fortunate enough to receive life-changing treatment, which has meant she can continue to live a reasonably normal life. For anyone that knows our Mum you'll know she will do anything for anyone and particularly her family. So I would now like to be able to give back to a cause that has really helped her and also helped others affected with similar problems.

Asthma + Lung UK work tirelessly to find new treatments for lung diseases and have made a huge difference in my mum's life and in the lives of countless others. By supporting my marathon run, you will help them continue their fantastic, life-changing work.

So I am reaching out to all of my friends and family and asking if you can please donate to this great cause, every single donation, no matter how small, will help make a difference. It will help fund and support groundbreaking research.

So as I begin the training to help me make it around that iconic 26 miles I would be really grateful for any donation you can manage to help save and change people’s lives affected.

Thank you so much for your support  (and for keeping me motivated)! Kel x
