I'm running London Marathon 2025 in memory of my Dad.
In April 2025, it'll be 20 years since my lovely Dad passed away from lung related illnesses, so this seems like a fitting time to run some marathons in his memory.
Between June 2024 and April 2025, I'll be taking on 5 marathons, one for each decade of Dad's life.
30/06/2024 Exe Estuary Marathon
01/09/2024 City to Sea Marathon
15/12/2024 Malaga Marathon
02/03/2025 Grand Canal Canter Marathon
27/04/2025 London Marathon
Those of you that know me will know that I'm a very fair weather runner and training through the winter is going to be a challenge! I'd be really grateful for any donation you can make - big or small - to help research treatments in this area and provide support to those struggling and their families.
Thank you so much <3>
*****
1 in 5 of us will have a lung condition during our lifetime. There's a new diagnosis every minute.
I'm running The London Marathon 2023 for Asthma + Lung UK. Theyre the only UK charity that fights for everyones 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 UKs nurses to answer a call on the Helpline, offering potentially lifesaving advice. I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make!
