Next weekend I'm going to be running a 52km to raise money for Asthma and Lung UK.

It's a charity who have helped us out quite a lot over the past two years, giving us advice and support during and since my daughter got diagnosed with Bronchiectasis, a chronic lung condition caused by a bad case of pneumonia a couple of years ago. As a result we do physio with her daily, have to be extra aware of coughs and colds (she's had 4 courses of antibiotics in the last year for coughs) and have lots of hospital appointments where she gets poked, prodded and scanned.

An overstretched (but wonderful) NHS haven't always been able to give us the advice we need straight away but Asthma and lung UK have always been there to talk to and provide lots of information on their website.

I hope the money raised can help them continue to help other families going through difficult times.

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.

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!
