I’m running the London Marathon 2025!
As a lifelong asthmatic who has two young sons (as well as a sister, neice and a father-in-law) who are also asthmatics, I feel very passionate about this charity.
My wife and I have become (too) acquainted over the years with the A&E and paediatric ward of our local hospital as both our children have suffered various respiratory episodes. Fortunately they are pulling through, but I know that others are less fortunate.
I feel proud to run the London Marathon for this charity again (last time was several years ago).
Any sponsorship provided is very gratefully received.
Thank you.
Mark

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!
Thank you to my Sponsors
