Story

On the 28th December 2022 my Dad sadly dropped dead from a Pulmonary embolism, which took me by complete surprise.

I ran the marathon 11 years ago for a different charity and have now decided to run this is memory of my Dad.

The aftermath of dealing with grief is the most insane and difficult emotion I have personally ever experienced. I want to try and help this not to happen to other people in the future, so they don’t lose loved ones.

The charity I’m running for help support research into pulmonary embolisms, in a hope to stop this happening in the future.

Please help support this amazing charity, with whatever you can spare and help me reach my target of £3000.

See you at the finish line 🏃‍♀️🎖️

Some more information below:

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!
