I’m running the London Marathon 2025 to fight for lung health!

It’s official!!……I’m running the London Marathon in April 2025. It feels very surreal to be writing that out. I've never been a strong runner and the thought of running that far is scary but I really can't wait to take part.

I’m so proud to be running for Asthma and Lung UK. I was diagnosed with asthma in my twenties and mine is triggered by exercise. Training with EIB has always been a challenge as you never know how your lungs will perform from one day to the next. But asthma medication is always evolving thanks to charities working on new ideas and I've been lucky enough to take part in asthma trials too. Hopefully one day asthma won't affect physical performance but in the meantime I'm not going to let it hold me back.

Take a look at the charity because they do amazing things for other lung conditions too and I can't wait to smash through my fundraising target and help them to keep on with the good work.

Every little helps donation wise and please also share my link. Thank you so so much xx

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!
