London Marathon 2025

I’m running the London Marathon 2025!

On Sunday 27th April 2025 I will be running the London Marathon for Asthma + Lung UK. Running a marathon has always been something I’ve aspired to do, but running for a charity has made this so much more meaningful and enabled me to make an impact on others lives. 

I am running to support close friends and family who have lived with asthma and lung conditions, and unfortunately in memory of those who have lost their battle.

Every donation no matter how big or small will make a huge difference and is greatly appreciated! Your generosity will fuel my training and ensure Asthma + Lung UK can continue to support those who need it❤️🫁

Me & your mum hid at Judy's whilst running was on and then joined the stragglers at the back as they returned - and once we'd finished our coffee & biscuits. So well done and here's the biscuit money smothered in guilt!
