1 in 5 of us will have a lung condition during our lifetime. There's a new diagnosis every minute. I'm running The Great North Run for Asthma + Lung UK as it is a charity close to my heart.

This is a huge challenge for me but I am looking forward  to pushing myself in a great city for an amazing cause. 

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 UKs nurses to answer a call on the Helpline, offering potentially lifesaving advice.  I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make!
