Story

3 people die from an asthma attack every day in the UK.

I'm running the London Marathon and I'll run a few other events aswell, for Asthma & Lung UK, who work to stop asthma attacks and ultimately cure asthma and other lung conditions. Every pound I'm able to raise will take us a step closer to a world without asthma. 

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.

We sadly lost Elly last August.  She suffered a rare asthma attack and hopefully we can better control asthma in the future, with research, better prevention and treatment.

While we are under pressure to support many good causes, this is a condition we really can improve for so many, and if a lot of people gave just a little bit... we'd really boost the efforts of Asthma & Lung UK and 'Team Breathe'.

CAMBRIDGE HALF..... DONE!

LEEDS HALF.......    DONE!

JURASSIC COAST ULTRA (59km)....... DONE!

BRIGHTON TRAIL MARATHON..... DONE!

Tired legs now but still going! Keeping the legs moving and avoiding the dreaded DOMS - Took me just over 7 hours to do Brighton...  how long to do Peak District 50km??......

NEW ADDITION!  PEAK DISTRICT ULTRA (50km).... JULY 9... DONE!! This was a slog but after a 7am start we were ahead of most 'traffic' and made great time. All together nearly 33 miles of beautiful English countryside in just over 8.5 hours.  That's the trail stuff done now, the legs are delighted!.  Countdown now to the big event, London in **12 weeks*!!!!!!!!

**THE BIG ONE**  LONDON MARATHON  OCT 2

Please be generous if you can, even a little means SO MUCH - I shall train hard and run my little legs off for your generosity!!!  xxxxx
