I’m running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in the fight for better breathing for all

I am absolutely delighted to be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in aid of Asthma and Lung UK. In August 2019, I took the big step of starting my running journey, after suffering from asthma since I was 18 months old. This half marathon will be a huge deal for me, giving me the feeling that I have conquered my barrier of never thinking I'd be able to be good at sport because of my condition, and I am so thrilled to be using my space to raise money to help others breathe better too. I hugely appreciate you coming to look at my page, and I would extremely appreciate any donations that you are able to give. Thank you.

Every minute, someone in the UK is diagnosed with lung disease. I want to make a difference. I'm running the Royal Parks Half Marathon 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!
