I’m running the London Marathon 2025 to fight for lung health!
Late into my teens I was diagnosed with asthma, after suddenly finding running impossible and several chest infections. Now well controlled, I cannot emphasise my appreciation for respiratory specialists for getting me to a place where I can play a football match, sleep without wheezing, and now (hopefully) run a marathon. Advances in medicines has meant they have found drugs and inhalers that allow me to function like most others can. Everyone has the right to breathe, and I often found this much more difficult than anyone should.
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!
