At Asthma + Lung UK, our vision is for a world where everyone has healthy lungs. From research and campaigning to advice and support, as the UK’s lung charity we’re on a mission to change the way that lung health is perceived. Because breath is life - and that’s worth fighting for.

Story

Back in 2018, we sadly lost my Grandad aka Grumpy, (although he was anything but!) after a long battle with Asbestosis. The local Breathe Easy support group, who are affiliated with Asthma & Lung UK, were a great help to both my Grandad and Nan, during and after those difficult times and so, in 2019 I took on a series of events, from 10km obstacle courses to 70 mile runs, to help raise funds for them, where I discovered my love for trail running and Ultramarathons.

Fast forward to 2024 and I wanted a new challenge, or a midlife crisis as some might call it! To deny turning 40, I decided to sign up to Run Britannia, a 35 day run between Lands End and John o'Groats, mostly off road and over 1000 miles! Which seemed like the perfect opportunity to help raise funds again, for a superb, if underrated charity. This involves running, on average, over 30 miles a day, 6 days a week, for 5 weeks.

Unfortunately I had to defer to 2025 due to my Fiancée suffering an injury. However, the challenge of running Lands End to John o'Groats just didn't seem hard enough, so I also decided to break my foot in December 24, with only 5 months before the start! With this in mind, there will certainly be a lot more walking, hobbling, crawling and even crying en route, than I had originally planned. But I'll still be there, giving it my best effort!

So please support me in fundraising for this great cause and wish me luck, because I'm going to need it!

1 in 5 of us will develop a lung condition during our lifetime. There's a new diagnosis every minute.

I'm fundraising for Asthma + Lung UK. They’re 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.
