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

I'm running The London Marathon 2024 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.

As a child, I suffered a lot with my asthma. However, as I got older, I learnt to manage my asthma extremely well and got the right inhalers to keep my asthma under control. During 2021 I got into running properly for the first time and was amazed at how easy it felt compared to my previous attempts! I quickly increased my mileage and have since completed a number of half marathons. I am now ready to take on a full marathon!! I want to raise money for an important charity, and show others with asthma that they CAN run too. Too often people with asthma are told that they can’t exercise and that couldn’t be further from the truth. I want to help change that narrative and raise money to help continue the important work that Asthma & Lung UK does.
