It ain’t easy being wheezy

Hi, I’m Lewis, and if you’ve made it to my page, you likely already know that. I’ve lived with asthma for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always into sports but dreaded anything to do with running or cardio. I felt limited by my asthma, but in reality, that limitation was only in my mind.

Five years ago, I decided to challenge that belief. I took up running—something I once told myself I could never do. To my surprise, I could! Running has become something I truly enjoy, and it fills me with a sense of accomplishment every time I push myself.

A year and a half ago, my son was born. He’s now showing early signs of asthma, which was my worst fear come to life. I felt guilty, as if I’d passed on something that would hold him back. But that guilt quickly turned into determination. My mission is to raise awareness for Asthma + Lung UK and to show my son that asthma doesn’t have to be a barrier. It’s proof that people with asthma are capable of achieving anything they set their minds to.
