I will be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon 2022 in memory of my late Grandfather, David George. He suffered with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).

Lung disease is the third biggest cause of death in the UK, and yet there are misconceptions that lung conditions like asthma, bronchiectasis and COPD are not life-threatening or serious. This prevents people from getting timely and effective diagnosis and treatment.

As the UK’s only charity fighting for everyone with a lung condition, Asthma + Lung UK are determined to transform lung health. Their vision is for a world where we can all breathe with healthy lungs. A world where lung health is prioritised through better understanding, research, treatment and support.

I myself suffer with asthma which I’m able to manage using a daily preventer inhaler. Asthma can become a severe disability, which is why awareness and early diagnosis is so important. Asthma + Lung UK give the best possible support and information so people can stay well and out of hospital.

Donating to Asthma + Lung UK, helps to provide awareness, education and information to enable anyone with a lung condition to live well.

Please feel free to share this & encourage your friends to donate to Asthma + Lung UK.

Thank you!
