I’m running The Great North Run in the fight for breath!

I’ve suffered from asthma all my life. I’ve been in hospital for a few stays, the last one in 2017. Today it’s manageable but I know even just a bad chest infection, or Covid, could mean trouble for me.

I’m thankful for the support and research that Asthma + Lung UK provides. I’m thankful that my asthma won’t stop me running to raise funds for others who can’t. I’m thankful for the family, friends and colleagues who will support me.

Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with lung disease. Asthma + Lung UK is 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 could go towards Health Care Advisors and Respiratory Specialists supporting someone with the information they need to live well.

Any support would be amazing in my fight for lung health!
