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

My lovely Nan was diagnosed with COPD in her early 60s and sadly lost her battle on 25/12/22. Unfortunately, there is not enough research or funding for fatal lung conditions which meant my Nan didn’t get as much support as she deserved. I am raising money for Asthma & Lung UK to help get the vital research needed to treat not only COPD but for every other lung condition that people are diagnosed with daily.

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!
