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

My Nan; Pauline, who passed away in November 2022, suffered with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems.

My Nan was your typical east-end sweary Nan who started smoking at birth and didn’t leave the house unless she was dressed to the nines. I shall pay tribute to her on this page by sharing pictures of her at her most glamorous; sitting on the couch or on a caravan related holiday.

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!
