We fund research, we campaign, we support - to fight for your right to breathe.

Story

As you can see from the picture - I made it!  It took 5 hours, 13 minutes and 28 seconds to run the whole 26.2 miles, but I got there in the end! 

What a great day - the weather was fantastic, clear blue skies and sunshine, and the crowds on the streets were a great support to get through to the end - as was my trainer, James (see picture).

My thanks to you all for your great support - which kept me going through the tough bits so I wouldn't let you down - and for your generous donations to the British Lung Foundation.
