Breathing is the essence of life. Watching someone you love suffer from something we take for granted every day makes you appreciate everything, however big or small. 

As many of you know, we sadly lost my Nan (Denise Robinson) in January 2021 to Bronchetasis. She lived her later years dealing with many chronic lung conditions, including Emphasyema. Anyone who knew Nan will know that she was a real fighter but living with such conditions did take its toll. 

I would love to raise awareness of the horrendous lung conditions my Nan and others have to deal with and how it affects their lives on a daily basis.

Over 12 million people in the UK have a lung condition. There is a new diagnosis every minute. I am running London Landmarks Half Marathon 2022 for the Asthma + Lung UK (previously known as British Lung Foundation), the only UK charity looking after the nation's lungs. Every pound I am able to raise will take us a step closer to a world without lung diseases. Just £12 allows one of the BLF's nurses to answer a call on the Helpline, offering potentially lifesaving advice. 

I will be very grateful for any donations you could make!
