I’m running the London Marathon 2025 to fight for Asthma Sufferers Everywhere!

I'm very scared to announce that I'll be running the London Marathon 2025 for Asthma and Lung UK! Having battled asthma and a chronic cough for the past 10 years, running has been my way of finding freedom for my lungs. 

Asthma runs in my family; my mum suffered from bronchial asthma for many years. This personal connection makes the cause even more important to me.

I am not the fastest runner, and the furthest I have run is a half marathon. I'm also not the fittest, but I promise I will give it my all on the day!  

Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a lung condition. By running the London Marathon 2025 for Asthma + Lung UK, the only UK charity that fights for everyone's right to breathe, I hope to make a difference. Every pound I raise will bring us closer to a world where everyone has healthy lungs.

Let's breathe easier together! 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!
