I’m running London Landmarks Half Marathon in the fight for breath!
I’ve set myself the challenge of running the London Landmarks Half Marathon! I’ll be proudly representing and raising funds for Asthma + Lung UK, a cause incredibly close to my heart.
Three years ago, my mum - who suffers from asthma, caught Influenza A from a colleague that attended work with a "just a cold". It escalated quickly into a life-threatening condition. I’ll never forget the doctor telling me she wasn’t going to make it that day. But after a month in ICU and 17 days on life support, she showed incredible strength and miraculously pulled through. My family thanks God to this day.
I have been a chronic asthmatic since birth and have faced my own respiratory challenges from struggling with everyday activities like playing football, staying active, yearly chest infections to more serious asthma attacks and hospitalisations.
This half marathon is my way of proving that, with the right support, determination, and asthma management, I can achieve my fitness goals and hopefully inspire others to believe they can too.
I’m also running to ensure Asthma + Lung UK can continue providing vital support to those living with lung conditions, so no one has to face what my mum and I went through without help.
Thank you for any donations to support this incredible cause - and for helping me make a real difference!
