Story

I was lucky enough to get a ballot place for London Marathon 2022 and have decided that it would be a good opportunity to raise money for a great charity that is close to my family's heart❤️ 

I have ran many half marathons but this will be my first full marathon attempt. This last year I have had a number of injuries but I am now hoping that I've got them all out of the way. I will be completing London Marathon even if I have to walk half of it!

Working as a radiographer I have also seen first hand the effect that pulmonary conditions, such as aspergillosis, can have on patients. 

The vision of Aspergillosis Trust is to achieve the best outcomes for all aspergillosis patients, until such time as a cure can be found. We have an aspiration to support research into the disease and mycology generally that can help im prove health outcomes for patients. We will work towards this by:Raising awareness of aspergillosis amongst the general public.Finding ways to ensure patients get the best possible information to help them manage the illness.Increase the understanding of the condition amongst medical professionals.
