I have lived for 18 years with only one lung having had most of right lung removed in 2008.

This year I will take on my hardest challenge so far running 50 miles and climbing 10,000ft in the yorkshire dales in May at the Pennine Barrier 50 mile Ultra.

I'm passionate that everyone has the right to breathe and for those living with long conditions I want to show that you can still overcome your challenge and do things others think are impossible.

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

I'm taking on this challenge 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 £24 could support a researcher at the start of their career to carry out an hour of lung health research to ensure we attract and keep the best scientific minds to focus on lung disease.
