Claire's fundraiser for Aspergillosis Trust

Claire Brown is raising money for Aspergillosis Trust

London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 ·

Our aim is to preserve and protect good health of people suffering from Aspergillosis by: - • Raising awareness of aspergillosis and increase the understanding of the condition amongst medical professionals and the public at large; • Supporting sufferers globally by providing information and creating real and virtual support networks for sufferers of the most common forms of the disease; • Circulating up-to-date information about the condition with all forms of aspergillosis and help them understand the disease and treatments; • Raising funds for research, with the aim of making aspergillosis far more readily recognisable than at present; • Via joint initiatives, educate healthcare professionals of the symptoms and treatment of aspergillosis as it is often missed and can take years to reach the correct diagnosis; and • Represent aspergillosis patients in wider lung health networks.

Story

A quick update and a huge ‘thank-you’ to everyone who has donated to this fantastic cause…..

Marathon day was a warm one (typical after all the winter training!) and whilst this made it slightly tougher on the route, the atmosphere in the starting area and the huge crowds road-side seemed to be lifted by the sunshine!

I was one of only two people (Congrats to Kelly Gray!) running in the Aspergillosis Trust vest and it felt a real privilege to represent the charity at such an iconic event and in the company of so many others running for good causes…..

I have been genuinely touched by everyone’s generosity, not just with cash donations but with time and in-kind support to help me achieve, and in the end far exceed, my fund raising target - i know the Aspergillosis Trust will put every penny to good use.

I had a memorable and emotional day trotting around the streets of our capital knowing that my small effort on the day had a bigger purpose.

Thanks again from me and on behalf of the Aspergillosis Trust xx

Thank you for visiting my just-giving page, most people know i have done a number of challenges over the years but this one has been a long time coming and I’m so very proud to be able to run the London Marathon 2026 for such an amazing charity.
