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

I have limited lung function and eosinophilic sever asthma and long covid. I take numerous medications and am lucky to receive biological therapy and wonderful support from my hospital team. I a great believer in the power of getting outdoors and remaining positive. It's my turn to do something to give back and to raise funds for all those living with with lung problems.1 in 5 of us will develop a lung condition during our lifetime. There's a new diagnosis every minute.

On 21st June i am riding from the east to the west of England, a total of 205 miles in one day. Racing the sun from sunrise to sunset.

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.

Just £22 allows one of Asthma + Lung UK’s nurses to answer a call on the Helpline, offering potentially lifesaving advice. I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make!
