London Marathon 2025

Donate to Sam and help them hit their goal of £2000!

I’m running the London Marathon 2025 for Asthma + Lung UK!

Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a lung condition. I spent a lot of time as a very active kid at doctors appointments for my breathing and constantly taking an inhaler for every rugby game. Having had asthma my entire life and being in a position where it doesn't affect me as much today, now is the perfect time for me 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!

Draycote Water Running Festival - Half Marathon

Monday 25th Nov
Absolutely BUZZING to have ran the half marathon in 2hours 13mins at the weekend 🙌

In what was rather questionable weather 😂 I am really pleased with the way my training is going and managed to push for a better time than I could have imagined!!

The lead up to Christmas is going to be a crucial time for my training - I'm just hoping the weather holds out a bit...

Run Leicester - Half Marathon

Monday 14th Oct
We had a great day running the Leicester Half Marathon yesterday - it was a fantastic atmosphere, we loved the drums and the bands really helped us through!!

I am so proud of my brother, he did a fab job and we managed to run the whole way round 👊 a HUGE thank you to George for his support running this with me!

I also want to say thank you to everyone who has helped push us around the course (you know who you are!) and to all the donations so far. I never expected to be half way to target at this point so I couldn't be more thankful!

Onto the next one now!

Draycote Water Running Festival - 10km Run

Monday 12th Aug
Slightly late on posting this but I completed my first actual race for my marathon training in July!! 🙌

It was a hard run having only come back off holiday the day before and it was very humid, however it was good experience for race day.

Bring on the Leicester Half Marathon in October! Onwards and upwards 🎉
Monday 1st Jul
