Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: British Lung Foundation gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Hey All!

I’m running the London Marathon this coming weekend in aid of the British Lung Foundation. I’ve chosen this charity because my cousin Chris, who is an elite runner himself, suffers from a rare lung condition called Bronchiectasis. He has been an inspiration to me, as he continues to compete despite the ongoing illness and injuries that result from his condition. My family and I have cheered him on in London for a number of years, and I hope to continue supporting by raising sponsorship for the charity that funds and carries out ground-breaking research into lung diseases.

I’m not expecting to break any records, and I’ve a feeling that it could be a long and painful plod around the course, but hopefully it’ll make a bit of a difference. I would be very grateful for your donations.

Thank you!

Alex
