Royal Parks Half Marathon 2024

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 2024 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!

Decision made

Wednesday 21st Feb
It turns out my lungs are my weak spot. I’ve had 3 lots of pneumonia within 4 years, asthma, and then in October 2023 I developed pulmonary embolism (in both lungs) and infarction (in the left) that has left me somewhat lungly challenged. 

My dive doctor tells me my lung capacity is alright, they’ve just got a bit stiff. So I figure training for a half marathon might do the trick of loosening them up. 

Lung health is something we take for granted while we have it. But when it’s not there, you literally notice it with every breath you take. Supporting research and support into Asthma and Lungs is vital, so thank you. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
