At Asthma + Lung UK, our vision is for a world where everyone has healthy lungs. From research and campaigning to advice and support, as the UK’s lung charity we’re on a mission to change the way that lung health is perceived. Because breath is life - and that’s worth fighting for.

Story

I will be taking this on in the Summer, I'm thinking June!

Why am I choosing this charity?

In memory of mum, who had issues breathing when we was alive. She passed away 3 years ago this coming May. My family chose this charity for a tribute just after it happened. She was my biggest supporter in everything I did. I miss her every day.

Why a 5K?

I've been on a fat loss journey. I have been on this journey for over a year and have lost 5 stone (70 lbs/32kg) to date. I don't plan on stopping either.

One of my fitness goals for 2026 is to get into running for the first time in my life. I will be running a 5K this summer. As part of this, I will be fundraising for a charity close to my heart, Asthma + Lung UK.

What's Asthma + Lung UK?

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 raise will bring us one 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. I'd be very grateful for any donations you could make.
