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. 

As someone who lives with asthma, this cause is deeply personal to me. I've experienced firsthand the challenges of managing a respiratory condition—regular trips to the chest clinic, countless check-ups and a routine of daily medications. These are constant reminders of the condition, but they don’t define my limits. Running a marathon with asthma would be an incredible achievement, a testament not just to physical endurance but to overcoming the obstacles that come with living with a chronic illness. It’s a goal that would mean the world to me, proving that asthma doesn’t have to hold me back.

Asthma + Lung UK’s work is crucial in ensuring everyone across the UK can access adequate respiratory care. 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 life-saving advice.

I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make!
