I'm running the Great North Run on behalf of Michael Buick.
In memory of my stepdad, Michael, who we sadly lost to COPD, it's a small way to honour his spirit and contribute to a cause close to our hearts. I've decided to lace up my running shoes [...again] 😂 and take on The Great North Run for Asthma + Lung UK.
Every minute, a family in the UK receives the life-changing news that their loved one has lung disease. It's a reality that hit close to home for me. So, you can support me this year by supporting Asthma + Lung UK.
Hopefully we will take strides towards a future where diseases like COPD can be combated more effectively.
