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

Thank you for visiting my page! In 2013 we lost my best friend Tia following as asthma attack and so I will be running the London Marathon 2025 for her and for her family. 

I'll never forget that the last text she sent me on the day was "Thank you, you're such a good friend" and I try to live up to that everyday. And on 27th April 2025 I'll do so by crossing the finish line with only her and her family on my mind. 

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!
