I’m running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in the fight for breath!
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!

Breath in, breath out!
Wednesday 6th SepBreathing - something so instinctive, involuntary that it is so often taken for granted. Breathing can impact your heart rate, blood pressure, stress response, while it is also a reflection of our state of mind. Breathing can also increase alertness and boost our immunity. Now imagine for few seconds how it would be to struggle to give the air that your body so desperately needs?
For about 5.4m people in the UK, breathing is not an effortless exercise. From these, around 1 million people suffer difficult asthma, including 200 thousand people with severe asthma. Uncontrolled severe asthma can have devastating impact on those people, with constant A&E visits, debilitating health conditions and leave them in a perpetual nervous distress. One of the main problems is that there are no guidelines that are universally and consistently followed for recognising and treating these patients.
For this reason, I am running a half-marathon and fundraising to support Asthma and Lung UK. People with difficult or severe asthma live in constant fear of literally losing their breath. Asthma and Lung UK provides support to people with lung conditions so they have the advice, knowledge and support they need now and in the future, It also invests in research, campaigns tirelessly, while also holds the government accountable to improve general conditions of lung health.
Help me raise funds and help those who desperately need one more breath.
