I’m walking to make a difference.

An increasing number of people are diagnosed with a variety of lung conditions. I was diagnosed with asthma as a child, family and friends have lung conditions, and this impacts our lives every day. I support this cause in hopes that with wonderful donations, we can get people the best treatment and give the world cleaner air. 

To do this, I plan to walk 1,000,000 steps from 1st July 2024 until 30th September 2024.

Thank you very much for any donations and support, they are all greatly appreciated.
