Throughout 2024 I will be taking part in the Chester Tripple. The Chester Tripple includes a 10k in March, a half marathon in May and a full marathon in October which I will be completing in aid of Asthma + Lung UK. This is a charity close to my heart and lungs as myself and my dad are both affected by lung conditions. 

At the age of 4 I was diagnosed with asthma and growing up I would suffer from asthma attacks. Through medication and a great asthma team I am have learnt to manage my asthma effectively but it can still have an impact on me depending on the weather and air pollution throughout the year.

In 2012 my dad was diagnosed with COPD. Since then his condition has worsened and he now has very severe COPD. This means that even the simplest of tasks such as walking from one room to another can be very difficult making him extremely breathless.

1 in 5 of us will develop a lung condition during our lifetime. There's a new diagnosis every minute so we need to do all we can to help find a cure for them. I'm fundraising for Asthma + Lung UK who are the only UK charity that fights for everyone’s right to breathe. 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 UK’s nurses to answer a call on the Helpline, offering potentially lifesaving advice. Any donations you could make will be gratefully appreciated and make a real difference to others.
